About

Arnaud Dupuis is a pioneering surgeon and researcher whose work is reshaping the landscape of abdominal wall surgery, with a sharp focus on the comparative effectiveness of robotic versus open techniques. His primary research areas include ventral hernia repair, complex abdominal wall reconstruction, and the integration of minimally invasive robotics into general surgery. Dupuis is best known for leading the Robovent Trial, a landmark randomized controlled trial that directly compares robotic and open primary ventral hernia repair, providing critical, high-level evidence on outcomes and recovery. His technical innovations are equally notable; he has developed and described a one-step fully robotic approach for Hartmann reversal combined with complex abdominal wall reconstruction, a procedure that traditionally requires multiple, high-morbidity open surgeries. Further demonstrating his impact, Dupuis has conducted rigorous case-control analyses on incisional hernia repair in overweight patients, evaluating both clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness. With his most-cited work accumulating over a dozen citations in a short period, Dupuis is establishing himself as a key voice in the evidence-based adoption of robotic hernia surgery, pushing the field toward safer, less invasive, and more efficient patient care.
