About
Dr. Benjamin Clapp is a leading bariatric surgeon whose research has fundamentally shaped the adoption and optimization of robotic-assisted weight loss surgery. His work focuses on three key areas: evaluating the safety and efficacy of robotic platforms, analyzing large-scale national databases to improve surgical outcomes, and understanding the economic and educational dimensions of bariatric practice. Dr. Clapp’s seminal 2006 study, demonstrating excellent outcomes during the learning curve for robotic-assisted gastric bypass, has garnered 96 citations and remains a foundational reference for surgeons transitioning to robotic techniques. He has further advanced the field by leading comparative analyses using the MBSAQIP database, including a 2019 study on revisional surgery (51 citations) and a 2023 assessment of standardized outcomes. His recent investigations into bedside stapling and cost drivers of robotic sleeve gastrectomy provide critical, practical insights for optimizing both clinical and financial efficiency. Through his database-driven research and focus on training, Dr. Clapp has become a pivotal voice in evidence-based bariatric surgery, guiding the safe and effective integration of robotics into modern practice.
