About
Dr. Gregory Dakin is a leading bariatric and minimally invasive surgeon whose research has significantly advanced the field of robotic and laparoscopic surgery, particularly for complex patient populations. His work focuses on optimizing perioperative outcomes, refining surgical techniques, and understanding the pathophysiology of post-bariatric complications. Dr. Dakin’s seminal 2003 study comparing laparoscopic skills across standard instruments and two robotic systems (154 citations) laid critical groundwork for the adoption of robotic platforms. He has since demonstrated that robotic-assisted approaches yield outcomes comparable to laparoscopy for challenging procedures like duodenal switch and revisional bariatric surgery, while also enhancing the learning curve for sleeve gastrectomy. His investigations into predictive factors for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) after sleeve gastrectomy have informed preoperative screening protocols, including the role of endoscopy. With multiple studies analyzing perioperative outcomes in super-obese patients and cost-efficiency in hernia repair, Dr. Dakin’s research consistently bridges technical innovation with practical, patient-centered care, making him a pivotal figure in modern bariatric surgery.
