Robert Tamer studies hernia repair, focusing on identifying risk factors for surgical complications and comparing surgical techniques for ventral and inguinal hernia repairs. Much of this work draws on large multi-center databases (such as the Abdominal Core Health Quality Collaborative, or ACHQC) to analyze outcomes like wound infections, blood clots, and long-term surgical success across many patients.
