About

Dr. Benjamin T. Miller is a leading surgeon-scientist whose research focuses on advancing the field of robotic hernia surgery, particularly through rigorous comparative effectiveness trials. He is best known for his work on minimally invasive techniques for inguinal and ventral hernia repair, where he has systematically evaluated robotic approaches against both laparoscopic and open surgery. His most impactful contribution is the RIVAL trial (34 citations), which provided key 1- and 2-year outcomes comparing laparoscopic versus robotic inguinal hernia repair. Dr. Miller also leads the REVEAL trial (19 citations), comparing robotic enhanced-view totally extraperitoneal (eTEP) to intraperitoneal onlay mesh for ventral hernias, and has published influential work on drain management in robotic retromuscular repair (16 citations). His recent ROVHR trial protocol (2025) aims to fill critical gaps in randomized evidence for robotic versus open ventral hernia repair. With a growing citation impact and a focus on patient-reported outcomes and long-term results, Dr. Miller is shaping evidence-based practice in robotic hernia surgery, helping surgeons and patients make informed decisions about emerging technologies.
