About
Dr. Gregory T. Scarola is a pioneering surgeon-scientist whose work is reshaping the field of abdominal wall reconstruction and hernia surgery. His research focuses on three critical areas: comparative effectiveness of surgical techniques, health disparities in surgical care, and the development of novel operative approaches. Dr. Scarola’s landmark 2024 study comparing open, laparoscopic, and robotic inguinal hernia repair—cited 13 times—provides crucial evidence for surgical decision-making. He introduced the “Carolinas Crossover” technique, an innovative preperitoneal approach for enhanced-view totally extraperitoneal (eTEP) ventral hernia repair, demonstrating his commitment to advancing surgical methodology. His work on enterotomy incidence during minimally invasive hernia repair (2023) has important implications for patient safety. Notably, Dr. Scarola’s 2024 investigation into racial and socioeconomic disparities in complex abdominal wall reconstruction referrals represents a vital contribution to surgical equity, revealing systemic barriers in access to elective care. With a growing citation impact, Dr. Scarola stands at the intersection of technical innovation and health justice, making him a leading voice in modern hernia surgery.
