About

Dr. Massimo Arcerito is a pioneering minimally invasive surgeon whose work has significantly advanced the field of robotic foregut and hernia surgery. His research centers on the application of robotic platforms for complex gastrointestinal conditions, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), large paraesophageal hiatal hernias, and esophageal achalasia. Dr. Arcerito’s major contributions include demonstrating the safety and efficacy of robotic fundoplication for challenging hiatal hernia repairs and establishing robotic Heller myotomy with Dor fundoplication as a durable, long-term solution for achalasia. His landmark 2016 paper on robotic inguinal hernia repair (40 citations) was among the first to validate the technique’s equivalence to laparoscopic methods, offering reduced postoperative pain. With cumulative citations exceeding 85, his work has shaped clinical guidelines. Notably, his 2020 study on robotic fundoplication for large paraesophageal hernias (18 citations) addressed a historically difficult surgical challenge, while his 2022 achalasia series (17 citations) confirmed excellent long-term outcomes. Dr. Arcerito’s dedication to refining robotic techniques continues to improve patient recovery and expand the boundaries of minimally invasive surgery.
