About
Yoav Mintz is a leading figure in robotic and minimally invasive surgery, whose work is shaping the future of the operating room. His research centers on the clinical implementation and technical optimization of robotic surgical systems, from established platforms like da Vinci to emerging modular systems like Hugo™ RAS. Dr. Mintz has made major contributions by authoring the European Association of Endoscopic Surgeons (EAES) consensus statement on robotics in general surgery (139 citations), a foundational document for the field. He has also pioneered novel surgical techniques, including the first worldwide case series of robotic inguinal hernia repair and robotic Heller’s myotomy using the Hugo™ RAS system. His work extends to the frontiers of soft robotics, as demonstrated by his involvement in the STIFF-FLOP project, which fuses dexterity and perception for next-generation surgical tools. With a portfolio of highly cited papers, Dr. Mintz is not only a skilled surgeon but also a key architect of the evidence base and technological innovation driving modern robotic surgery.
