About

Samuel J. Tingle is a rising leader in surgical outcomes research, with a focused expertise in minimally invasive surgery and transplant medicine. His work critically evaluates the comparative effectiveness of robotic, laparoscopic, and open surgical approaches, particularly for complex abdominal and transplant procedures. Tingle’s major contributions include landmark systematic reviews and meta-analyses that synthesize high-level evidence from randomized controlled trials. His most cited work, a 2024 meta-analysis of robotic versus laparoscopic colorectal surgery (31 citations), provides crucial insights into the real-world benefits of robotic systems. He has also advanced the field of live donor nephrectomy, with a 2024 review comparing robotic, laparoscopic, and open techniques (16 citations), directly addressing a key barrier to kidney donation—surgical morbidity. Further demonstrating his methodological rigor, his network meta-analysis on pancreatoduodenectomy (8 citations) employs advanced statistical techniques like trial sequential analysis to guide surgical decision-making. By clarifying the advantages and limitations of robotic surgery, Tingle’s research directly informs clinical practice and helps shape the future of surgical innovation, making him an influential voice in evidence-based surgery.
