About
Dr. Stephanie Sims is a leading figure in the field of minimally invasive and robotic-assisted abdominal wall surgery, with a particular focus on ventral hernia repair. Her most impactful work, "A nationwide evaluation of robotic ventral hernia surgery" (2017), has garnered 50 citations and stands as a cornerstone study in the field. In this landmark analysis, Dr. Sims provided the first comprehensive, large-scale assessment of robotic techniques for ventral hernia repair, comparing outcomes, complications, and cost-effectiveness against traditional laparoscopic and open approaches. Her research has been instrumental in establishing evidence-based guidelines for patient selection and surgical technique, directly shaping how surgeons approach complex hernia cases. Beyond her contributions to robotic surgery, Dr. Sims is recognized for advancing perioperative care protocols and patient safety standards. Her work has not only influenced clinical practice but also sparked further investigations into the long-term benefits of robotic approaches. Through her rigorous, data-driven analyses, Dr. Sims has become a trusted voice in surgical innovation, helping to define the modern standard of care for ventral hernia repair.
