About

Gabriela Restrepo-Rodas is a pioneering surgeon-researcher at the forefront of minimally invasive and technology-driven hepatobiliary and hernia surgery. Her work centers on two transformative areas: the safety and efficacy of robotic techniques in living donor liver transplantation, and the integration of artificial intelligence into modern surgical practice. In her landmark 2022 systematic review and meta-analysis (31 citations), she rigorously compared robotic living donor right hepatectomy (RLDRH) against open and laparoscopic approaches, providing critical evidence that robotics can be performed safely while offering potential advantages in recovery and precision. This work has helped shape the conversation around expanding minimally invasive options in transplantation. More recently, her 2025 review on AI in hernia surgery (5 citations) offers practical insights into how machine learning can enhance risk assessment, predictive analytics, and surgical decision-making. By bridging cutting-edge technology with clinical application, Restrepo-Rodas is not only advancing surgical safety but also guiding the next generation of surgeons toward a data-driven, patient-centered future. Her contributions underscore a commitment to innovation that directly improves outcomes in complex abdominal surgery.
