About
Samuel F. Hohmann is a prominent health services researcher whose work focuses on the utilization, outcomes, and costs of surgical care in the United States. His major contributions lie in using large, nationwide administrative databases to analyze national trends in minimally invasive and robotic surgery. Notably, his highly cited study, "Trends in Robotic Thyroid Surgery in the United States from 2009 Through 2013" (48 citations), provided critical early insights into the rapid adoption of robotic techniques in thyroid procedures, helping to define the field’s trajectory. He has also advanced understanding of surgical oncology, as demonstrated in "Minimally invasive gastrectomy for cancer: current utilization in US academic medical centers" (27 citations), which documented practice patterns in cancer care. More recently, Hohmann has turned his analytical lens to surgical cost variation, as seen in his study on the determinants of cost for outpatient hysterectomy (2023). His work is instrumental for surgeons, policymakers, and researchers seeking to understand how technology and practice patterns shape the value and delivery of surgical care across the nation.
