About

Matthew Dolich is a surgeon whose research focuses on the intersection of urologic oncology and minimally invasive hernia repair, particularly in the context of robot-assisted surgery. His major contributions center on addressing inguinal hernia as a recognized complication of radical prostatectomy, a critical area where surgical outcomes and patient quality of life intersect. Dolich’s work identifies key risk factors—such as previous hernia repair, wound infection, low body mass index, and preexisting subclinical hernias—that predispose patients to post-prostatectomy hernias. He has advanced the practice of concomitant hernia repair during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, demonstrating how this combined approach can reduce the need for secondary surgeries and improve recovery. His most cited paper, “Minimally Invasive Hernia Repair in Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy” (2016), has garnered 12 citations, reflecting its influence among urologic and general surgeons. By bridging two surgical specialties, Dolich’s research provides practical, evidence-based strategies for managing a common complication, making his work a valuable resource for clinicians seeking to optimize outcomes in pelvic surgery.
