About

Dr. Loic Tchokouani is a forward-thinking surgeon whose work bridges the frontiers of robotic surgery and patient-centered outcomes in abdominal wall and bariatric procedures. His primary research areas include minimally invasive hernia repair, chronic pain management after mesh implantation, and the comparative safety of robotic versus laparoscopic bariatric techniques. Dr. Tchokouani’s most notable contribution is the development of the “Robotic Mesh Explantation (RoME)” approach, a novel, precise technique for patients suffering from debilitating chronic pain following hernia repair—a condition often overlooked in surgical innovation. This seminal paper, with 11 citations, has already influenced clinical practice by offering a targeted solution to a complex problem. More recently, his work on robotic sleeve gastrectomy (2025, 3 citations) demonstrates that the robotic approach is as safe as the laparoscopic gold standard, paving the way for broader adoption of robotics in metabolic surgery. By combining technical ingenuity with a deep commitment to improving quality of life, Dr. Tchokouani is shaping the next generation of evidence-based, patient-first surgical care.
