About

Quintin P. Solano is a surgical outcomes researcher whose work is reshaping our understanding of patient-centered care and equity in abdominal wall surgery. His research centers on three critical areas: decision regret after elective procedures, sex-based disparities in hernia repair, and the adoption of robotic surgical techniques. Solano’s landmark study on decision regret following elective hernia repair (17 citations) revealed that a significant proportion of patients experience lasting dissatisfaction with their surgical choice—a finding that challenges surgeons to better align expectations with outcomes. His parallel investigation into sex disparities (16 citations) documented that women undergoing ventral and incisional hernia repair face systematically different treatment patterns and worse outcomes, highlighting a pressing need for gender-aware surgical protocols. Solano has also pioneered mixed-methods research to understand surgeon variation in robotic technique adoption (6 citations), demonstrating that institutional culture and individual training, not just patient anatomy, drive technology use. His work on small ventral hernia management (2 citations) further underscores his commitment to standardizing care across quality improvement collaboratives. By combining rigorous epidemiology with qualitative insights, Solano is building an evidence base for more equitable, patient-centered hernia surgery.
