About

Dr. Ernesto Tartaglia is a leading innovator in minimally invasive abdominal wall surgery, with a focused expertise in robotic-assisted techniques for rectus diastasis and hernia repair. His major contribution is the development and description of the robotic transabdominal retromuscular rectus diastasis (r-TARRD) repair, a novel approach that has garnered 24 citations since its publication in 2022. This work represents a significant advancement in treating rectus abdominis diastasis, a condition characterized by thinning of the linea alba and abdominal wall laxity often acquired during pregnancy or obesity. Dr. Tartaglia has also authored a comprehensive review of mini-invasive techniques for rectus diastasis (14 citations) and explored the advantages of robotic-assisted single site (RASS) TAPP for inguinal hernia repair. His cumulative work, with over 48 citations, demonstrates a clear trajectory toward safer, more effective, and less invasive surgical options. Dr. Tartaglia’s research is particularly valuable for surgeons seeking to adopt robotic platforms for complex abdominal wall reconstruction, and his publications serve as essential references in the evolving field of robotic hernia surgery.
