About
Dr. Arthur M. Carlin is a pioneering bariatric and endocrine surgeon whose work centers on the adoption and outcomes of robotic surgical techniques. His research critically examines the real-world transition from traditional laparoscopy to robotic platforms, particularly in bariatric surgery. A landmark study, "Adopt or Abandon? Surgeon-Specific Trends in Robotic Bariatric Surgery Utilization Between 2010 and 2019," analyzed statewide registry data to reveal that many surgeons with advanced laparoscopic skills ultimately abandon robotic approaches—a finding with profound implications for surgical training and resource allocation. Dr. Carlin has also made notable contributions to endocrine surgery, including the first reported trans-oral robotic excision of an ectopic parathyroid adenoma (14 citations) and a robotic resection of a mediastinal parathyroid cyst. His most cited work demonstrates his role in defining safe, minimally invasive approaches for rare parathyroid pathologies. With over 24 total citations, Dr. Carlin’s scholarship provides essential evidence for surgeons evaluating whether to adopt robotic technology, balancing innovation against proven laparoscopic outcomes.
