About

Joaquin Sarmiento is a rising leader in minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgery, with a focus on bariatric and vascular procedures. His research tackles critical challenges in surgical innovation, including optimizing outcomes for patients with extreme obesity and advancing robotic applications in vascular surgery. In his landmark 2024 study, Sarmiento leveraged the MBSAQIP database to evaluate robotic sleeve gastrectomy in super super obese patients, demonstrating its superior safety and efficacy—work that has already garnered 9 citations and is shaping clinical guidelines. He also authored a forward-looking review on robotic-assisted vascular surgery, exploring how robotics can bridge the gap between open and endovascular techniques by improving precision while reducing invasiveness. Additionally, his analysis of postoperative bleeding predictors after bariatric surgery (4 citations) provides actionable insights for reducing complications. Sarmiento’s work is notable for its data-driven rigor and translational impact, directly informing surgical decision-making and patient selection. As a prolific young investigator, his contributions are rapidly gaining recognition, positioning him at the forefront of robotic surgery’s evolution.
