About
Giuseppe Rocco is a leading figure in minimally invasive hernia surgery, with a focused expertise in comparing robotic and laparoscopic techniques for inguinal hernia repair. His most impactful work, a 2021 systematic review and meta-analysis (98 citations), established a comprehensive evidence base for the robotic approach (RHR) versus standard laparoscopic procedures (LHR), guiding surgical decision-making worldwide. Rocco has also made significant contributions to surgical education through his pioneering studies on learning curves, notably demonstrating how a surgeon’s prior robotic experience affects the acquisition of skills for robotic transabdominal preperitoneal (rTAPP) hernia repair—a critical insight for training programs. His 2023 paper on this topic (13 citations) and a 2025 comparative analysis further refine our understanding of proficiency benchmarks. Beyond hernia surgery, Rocco has contributed to national surveys on minimally invasive gastric practice, reflecting his broader impact on surgical innovation. With a citation trajectory that underscores his influence, Rocco’s work bridges the gap between emerging robotic technology and practical surgical outcomes, making him a key voice in the evolution of minimally invasive surgery.
