About
Diego Camacho is a pioneering surgeon whose work sits at the intersection of advanced minimally invasive techniques and surgical education. His primary research focuses on innovative approaches to ventral hernia repair, particularly the development and refinement of the SubCutaneous OnLay endoscopic Approach (SCOLA) and robotic intracorporeal rectus aponeuroplasty. His landmark 2020 paper on SCOLA mesh repair for small midline hernias with diastasis recti, cited 41 times, introduced a transformative technique to the US surgical landscape. Camacho’s contributions extend beyond hernia surgery; he has explored magnetorheological fluids for lower-limb prosthetics and advanced manufacturing methods for naval propellers, demonstrating a remarkable breadth of engineering-minded inquiry. His work on objective procedure-specific safety assessments for inguinal hernia repair and studies on resident participation in bariatric surgery (including sleeve gastrectomy) underscore his commitment to both patient safety and surgical training. With a career that bridges clinical innovation, biomedical engineering, and education, Camacho stands out as a versatile researcher whose work is shaping the future of surgical practice.
