About
Genti Xhepa is a leading researcher in minimally invasive and robotic surgery, with a focused expertise in surgical site complications and trocar-related outcomes. His most impactful work addresses a critical gap in robotic surgical practice: the risk of incisional hernia formation following the use of 8-mm trocar sites, a topic of growing importance with the adoption of newer robotic platforms. In his prospective study published in 2024, Xhepa provided the first dedicated evidence on this issue, demonstrating that 8-mm trocar sites may require closure to prevent herniation—a finding that challenges existing guidelines based on larger trocar sizes. This work has already garnered 6 citations within its first year, signaling its rapid influence on clinical protocols. Xhepa’s research is notable for its direct translational impact, offering actionable data for surgeons to reduce postoperative complications. By bridging a gap in the literature, he has established himself as a key voice in robotic surgery safety, with his findings likely to shape future recommendations for trocar site management in minimally invasive procedures.
