About
Gina Adrales is a prominent surgical innovator whose research sits at the intersection of minimally invasive surgery, robotic-assisted techniques, and bariatric and hernia repair procedures. Drawing on large national databases such as the MBSAQIP, her work has systematically evaluated whether robotic platforms offer meaningful clinical advantages over traditional laparoscopic approaches. Her most-cited study — a propensity score-matched analysis of over 100,000 bariatric cases — has become a cornerstone reference in the field, accumulating 87 citations and helping shape evidence-based adoption of robotic surgery. Subsequent investigations extended this work to concurrent bariatric and hiatal hernia repair, cholecystectomy outcomes, and outcomes in super-obese populations, collectively demonstrating her commitment to rigorous outcomes research across surgical subspecialties. Beyond comparative effectiveness, Adrales has explored the educational frontier of robotic surgery, contributing research on haptic feedback systems that improve trainee accuracy and tissue handling — a forward-looking contribution to surgical training. Her authorship of the *Textbook of Hernia* further underscores her role as both practitioner and educator. With a growing citation record and diversified research portfolio, Adrales represents a leading voice in advancing safe, technology-driven surgical care.
