About

Dr. Juan-Carlos Verdeja is a leading figure in minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgery, with a research focus that bridges innovation in technique with rigorous clinical outcomes. His work is centered on optimizing surgical platforms for complex abdominal wall and foregut pathologies, particularly cholecystectomy, incisional hernia repair, and giant paraesophageal hernias. A landmark 2013 study comparing standard laparoscopic, robotic, and SPIDER platforms for single-incision cholecystectomy (67 citations) established him as a pioneer in evaluating novel surgical technologies. His contributions to hernia surgery are equally significant; his 2021 prospective analysis of robotic-assisted, laparoscopic, and open incisional hernia repair (42 citations) provides critical early outcomes data, while his 2013 work on robotic repair of giant paraesophageal hernias (41 citations) addresses a high-risk patient population with traditionally high complication and recurrence rates. Most recently, Dr. Verdeja has investigated the learning curve for surgeons transitioning from laparoscopic to robotic-assisted inguinal hernia repair, offering practical insights for surgical training and efficiency. With a career dedicated to advancing patient safety and surgical precision, Dr. Verdeja’s research continues to shape the adoption of robotic platforms in general surgery.
