About
Dr. Ana Carolina de Oliveira Makiyama is a pioneering surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive techniques for complex abdominal wall reconstruction, particularly incisional hernia repair. Her major contribution lies in demonstrating the safety and efficacy of robotic enhanced-view totally extraperitoneal (eTEP) ventral hernia repair, a sophisticated approach that combines the precision of robotic surgery with the benefits of a totally extraperitoneal plane. Her landmark study, “Early Outcomes of Robotic Enhanced View Totally Extraperitoneal Ventral Hernia Repair: A Single-Center Experience,” published in 2024, has already garnered 2 citations, signaling growing interest in this technique. This work is notable for being one of the first to report early outcomes from a single center, providing critical evidence that robotic eTEP can improve patient recovery and reduce complications compared to traditional open or laparoscopic methods. Dr. Makiyama’s research addresses a pressing clinical need, as incisional hernias significantly impair quality of life. By championing robotic approaches, she is helping to redefine standards of care in hernia surgery, making her a rising authority in the field of robotic abdominal wall repair.
