About

Dr. Leslie M. Okorji is a rising leader in minimally invasive and robotic abdominal wall surgery, with a focused expertise in managing complex hernias and gastrointestinal reconstructions. Her most impactful work centers on the diagnosis and management of parastomal hernias, a challenging complication in ostomy patients; her 2019 paper on this topic has garnered 22 citations, establishing a key clinical reference. Dr. Okorji has also pioneered efforts to define the learning curve for robotic abdominal wall reconstruction using cumulative sum analysis (2023), a critical contribution for training surgeons in advanced techniques. Her research extends to refining preoperative planning, including the use of CT measurements to predict the need for robotic transversus abdominis release (2024). Additionally, she has contributed to revisional bariatric surgery, describing a laparoscopic handsewn revision of gastrojejunal anastomosis (2022). Through these works, Dr. Okorji is shaping evidence-based protocols for robotic hernia repair and complex abdominal wall reconstruction, with her cumulative citations reflecting growing influence in the field. Her dedication to surgical education and outcome optimization marks her as a notable emerging authority in robotic and reconstructive surgery.
