About
Fabiano Iaquinandi is a pioneering robotic surgeon whose research is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive hernia repair. His work focuses on the safety, feasibility, and technical optimization of robotic-assisted approaches for complex abdominal wall hernias, including incarcerated inguinal, umbilical, epigastric, and paraesophageal hernias. Iaquinandi’s major contributions include demonstrating the viability of emergency robot-assisted transabdominal preperitoneal (R-TAPP) repair for incarcerated inguinal hernias—a traditionally high-risk setting—and comparing extended totally extraperitoneal (eTEP) versus transabdominal preperitoneal (eTAPP) repairs for midline hernias, providing crucial evidence for technique selection. He has also advanced patient safety by prospectively studying trocar-site incisional hernias after 8-mm robotic ports, challenging existing closure guidelines. With over 30 citations across his most-cited works, including a 2024 study on emergency paraesophageal hernia treatment and a 2025 learning curve analysis for hiatal hernia repair, Iaquinandi’s research directly informs clinical practice and training. His work is essential reading for surgeons and trainees seeking to master robotic hernia surgery and improve outcomes in both elective and emergency settings.
