About

Claudia Pedroza is a leading clinical researcher whose work centers on surgical outcomes, perioperative care, and evidence-based medicine. She is best known for her landmark multicenter, blinded randomized controlled trial comparing robotic versus laparoscopic ventral hernia repair, published in 2020 with over 130 citations. This pivotal study provided rigorous, real-world evidence on recovery times and hospital stays, directly influencing surgical decision-making and patient care protocols. Pedroza’s research also extends to enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) settings, as demonstrated by her investigation into preoperative quadratus lumborum nerve blocks for minimally invasive hysterectomy, contributing to improved postoperative quality of recovery. Her work is characterized by pragmatic trial designs and a commitment to reducing surgical morbidity. With a citation impact spanning high-impact journals and clinical guidelines, Pedroza has established herself as a key contributor to modern surgical research, helping to shape safer, more effective perioperative pathways for patients.
