About
Gabriel Arevalo is a pioneering surgeon advancing the frontiers of robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery, with a particular focus on complex abdominal wall reconstruction and hepatopancreaticobiliary (HPB) oncology. His work is defined by a commitment to demonstrating the safety and efficacy of robotic techniques for procedures traditionally performed via open or laparoscopic surgery. Arevalo’s major contributions include the first reported robotic repair of a Morgagni hernia in adults, a landmark case that has garnered 30 citations and opened new avenues for treating this rare diaphragmatic defect. He has also been instrumental in refining the robotic retro-rectus approach for parastomal hernias, a notoriously challenging condition, and has reported the first robotic multivisceral resection for synchronous liver metastasis from a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor. His long-term outcomes study on robotic transabdominal retromuscular repair (r-TARUP), with 11 citations, provides crucial 3-year follow-up data on recurrence rates, addressing a significant gap in the literature. With over 80 total citations, Arevalo’s work is consistently cited for its technical innovation and rigorous outcomes reporting, establishing him as a leading voice in the safe expansion of robotic surgery into complex, high-stakes clinical scenarios.
