About

Dr. Kenneth M. Annoreno is a leading figure in minimally invasive and robotic gastrointestinal surgery, with a focused expertise in the treatment of complex hiatal hernias and gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD). His seminal work, "Robotic Fundoplication for Large Paraesophageal Hiatal Hernias" (2020), which has garnered 18 citations, represents a critical contribution to the field by demonstrating the technical advantages of robotic assistance in managing these challenging anatomical defects. Dr. Annoreno’s research underscores that optimal surgical outcomes are achieved in patients who have shown some response to medical therapy, refining patient selection criteria for fundoplication. By advancing the application of robotic technology, he has helped establish a new standard of care for large paraesophageal hernias, improving precision and recovery for patients. His work bridges the gap between traditional laparoscopic techniques and modern robotic platforms, offering a roadmap for surgeons seeking to enhance outcomes in complex foregut surgery. Dr. Annoreno’s contributions continue to shape the evolution of robotic-assisted procedures in general surgery.
