About
Dr. B.K. Poulose is a leading figure in abdominal wall surgery, with a research focus on optimizing surgical techniques, advancing robotic and laparoscopic approaches, and standardizing clinical coding for hernia repair. His most impactful contribution is the REVEAL multicenter randomized clinical trial, which compared robotic eTEP with IPOM for ventral hernia repair—a landmark study with 36 citations that has shaped evidence-based practice in minimally invasive surgery. Dr. Poulose also investigates surgical education, notably comparing learning curves and skill transference between laparoscopic and robotic inguinal hernia repair in general surgery residents, a study with 7 citations that informs training curricula. Additionally, his pragmatic, evidence-based approach to coding for abdominal wall reconstruction (3 citations) addresses critical ambiguities in Current Procedural Terminology usage, bridging clinical practice and administrative accuracy. Through these works, Dr. Poulose has advanced both surgical outcomes and educational frameworks, making him a key contributor to the evolution of hernia surgery and resident training.
