About

Dr. Jan Roland Lambrecht is a leading figure in hernia surgery, with a focused expertise in the complex management of parastomal hernias. His major contribution is the development and popularization of the "ePauli repair," an endoscopic preperitoneal technique that adapts the principles of the open Pauli repair for minimally invasive surgery. This innovation, detailed in his highly cited 2021 observational study (39 citations), aims to reduce adhesion and pain by avoiding intraperitoneal mesh placement. Dr. Lambrecht has been at the forefront of translating these complex procedures to robotic platforms, as evidenced by his 2022 work on robotic hernia surgery (23 citations) and his 2024 description of the robotic Pauli repair. His influence extends beyond the operating room; he has assessed the status and challenges of robotic hernia repair across four Nordic countries. With a growing body of work that bridges open surgical principles with modern minimally invasive techniques, Dr. Lambrecht is shaping the standard of care for one of abdominal wall surgery's most challenging conditions.
