About
Dr. Rosita Sortino is a surgical researcher whose work bridges surgical education and minimally invasive hernia repair. Her key research areas include the future of surgical training and the comparative effectiveness of robotic and laparoscopic techniques. Dr. Sortino’s major contributions are twofold: she has critically examined the educational challenges facing the next generation of surgeons, as highlighted in her highly cited 2024 scoping review (8 citations), which identifies key opportunities to reshape surgical curricula. Simultaneously, she has advanced evidence-based practice in hernia surgery. Her 2025 multicentre observational study (3 citations) provides a direct comparison between robotic ventral transabdominal preperitoneal repair (rvTAPP) and laparoscopic enhanced-view totally extraperitoneal repair (eTEP) for small and mid-sized ventral hernias. This work is notable for its prospective, multi-institutional design, offering valuable data on outcomes that can guide clinical decision-making. By combining a focus on educational innovation with rigorous clinical research, Dr. Sortino is helping to shape both how future surgeons are trained and how they operate, ensuring that the field evolves with both pedagogical and technical excellence.
