About
Davide La Regina is a surgical researcher whose work has established him as a prominent voice in robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery, with a particular focus on hernia repair and bariatric procedures. His research spans the full spectrum of abdominal wall surgery — from inguinal and ventral hernias to complex flank hernias — consistently examining the safety, feasibility, and technical refinements of robotic approaches. His most-cited contribution, a 2021 systematic review and meta-analysis on robotic versus laparoscopic revisional bariatric surgery (78 citations), demonstrates his ability to synthesize evidence at a field-shaping level. Equally influential is his investigation into the learning curve of robotic-assisted TAPP inguinal hernia repair (46 citations), providing practical guidance for surgeons adopting this technology. La Regina has also made meaningful technical contributions, including novel strategies to prevent seroma formation and innovative suprapubic trocar placement techniques. His work extends into health economics, critically evaluating the cost implications of robotic surgery for large ventral hernias. Collectively, his publications reflect a rigorous, clinically grounded research program that is actively shaping how robotic surgery is taught, practiced, and evaluated worldwide.
