About
Paul S. Dunkin is a leading figure in minimally invasive and robotic general surgery, with a particular focus on optimizing inguinal hernia repair. His research is centered on advancing surgical techniques, improving perioperative protocols, and demonstrating the feasibility and efficiency of robotic approaches in high-volume settings. Dunkin’s major contribution is the validation of the robotic transabdominal preperitoneal (R-TAP) inguinal hernia repair as a safe and efficient procedure, particularly within a day-only surgery protocol. His landmark prospective cohort study, published in 2025, evaluated short-term outcomes from a high-volume robotic surgery centre, providing critical evidence that supports the growing global adoption of robotic IHR. This work, which has already garnered 4 citations, addresses a key area of clinical equipoise by demonstrating that robotic repair can be performed with excellent efficiency and safety, challenging traditional open and laparoscopic methods. Dunkin’s research is instrumental in shaping modern surgical practice, offering a data-driven pathway for integrating advanced robotics into routine hernia care and setting a new standard for outpatient surgical protocols.
