About
Ana Caroline Dias Rasador is an emerging surgical researcher whose work centers on abdominal wall reconstruction, hernia repair techniques, and minimally invasive surgery. Her research systematically evaluates and compares surgical approaches — including laparoscopic, robotic, and open methods — for both ventral and groin hernias, providing the evidence base surgeons need to make informed operative decisions. Rasador's most impactful contributions include comparative meta-analyses examining IPOM+ versus e-TEP repair and TAPP versus IPOM techniques for ventral hernias, as well as a comprehensive analysis of open versus robotic transversus abdominis release — work that has already accumulated nearly 40 citations across publications from 2024 to 2025. Her large-scale database studies utilizing the Abdominal Core Health Quality Collaborative (ACHQC) registry, spanning up to a decade of real-world United States surgical data, offer particularly valuable insights into how robotic surgery is reshaping minimally invasive hernia repair trends nationally. Notably, her investigation into sex-based differences in groin hernia outcomes addresses a meaningful gap in surgical literature, advocating for more inclusive research in a field historically dominated by male patient populations. Through rigorous systematic reviews and meta-analyses, Rasador is establishing herself as a thoughtful and prolific contributor to evidence-based hernia surgery.
