About
Dr. Rebeca Dominguez Profeta is a surgical outcomes researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgery, hernia repair, and bariatric surgical education. Her most impactful study, a 2024 multicenter analysis of over 13,000 patients from the Abdominal Core Health Quality Collaborative, demonstrated that robotic unilateral groin hernia repairs achieve comparable 30-day outcomes to laparoscopic approaches but with significantly lower 1-year recurrence rates (1.9% vs. 3.5%). This work, cited 9 times, provides crucial evidence for surgical decision-making. Dr. Dominguez Profeta also investigates the safety of resident participation in bariatric surgery; her 2023 study on sleeve gastrectomy found no increase in complications when residents were involved in either robotic or laparoscopic cases, supporting the continued integration of trainees into advanced procedures. With a growing citation record and a focus on high-quality, multicenter data, her research directly informs both clinical practice and surgical training.
