About

Monica Polcz is a surgical researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive hernia repair techniques, particularly through robotic and enhanced-view approaches. Her major contributions include the development of the Carolinas Crossover, a novel preperitoneal crossover technique for enhanced-view totally extraperitoneal (eTEP) ventral hernia repair, which offers a refined method for complex abdominal wall reconstruction. This work, published in 2024, has already garnered 5 citations, signaling its early impact in the field. Polcz has also contributed to the evolution of robotic Sugarbaker parastomal hernia repair, with an updated series and outcomes published in 2025, demonstrating her commitment to improving surgical outcomes through innovation. Her research addresses critical challenges in hernia surgery, blending technical precision with patient-centered results. As a rising voice in surgical innovation, Polcz’s work is shaping the future of minimally invasive repair, making her a notable figure for students and researchers interested in the intersection of robotics, anatomy, and clinical practice.
