About

Dr. Sabrina Drexel is a rising surgical innovator whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive hernia repair, particularly in complex and high-risk patient populations. Her research focuses on the intersection of surgical technique, health policy, and obesity medicine, with a major contribution being the development of robotic thoracoabdominal hernia repair—a novel approach that expands surgical options for challenging anatomical cases. Dr. Drexel’s most cited work, a 2023 cross-sectional study forecasting the impact of CPT coding changes on ventral hernia work relative value units, demonstrates her commitment to ensuring surgical reimbursement accurately reflects procedural complexity. This policy-oriented research has garnered 4 citations and underscores her influence beyond the operating room. Her 2025 study on robot ventral hernia repair in class II-IV obesity provides critical early and mid-term outcome data for a growing patient demographic often excluded from surgical trials. While still early in her career, Dr. Drexel’s focused portfolio—spanning technique innovation, health economics, and equitable surgical care—positions her as a thoughtful voice in the evolution of robotic hernia surgery.
