About

Vadim Meytes is a leading figure in minimally invasive and bariatric surgery, with a particular focus on abdominal wall reconstruction and hernia repair. His most significant contributions come from his central role in updating the International Endohernia Society (IEHS) guidelines for the laparoscopic treatment of ventral and incisional hernias. These landmark publications, which have garnered over 530 combined citations, provide the global standard of care by synthesizing the best available evidence into actionable recommendations for surgeons. Beyond guidelines, Meytes has advanced the understanding of rare but critical complications in bariatric and robotic surgery. His work on portomesenteric thrombosis following sleeve gastrectomy and port-site hernias in patients with obesity undergoing robotic colorectal procedures highlights his commitment to improving patient safety in high-risk populations. By bridging evidence-based guidelines with clinical insight into complex postoperative events, Meytes has shaped both the practice and safety protocols of modern hernia and metabolic surgery.
