About

Jacob A. Greenberg is a leading figure in hernia surgery and abdominal wall reconstruction, whose work has significantly advanced both clinical practice and surgical education. His research focuses on optimizing surgical techniques and materials for complex hernia repairs, with a particular emphasis on the comparative effectiveness of laparoscopic, robotic, and open approaches. Dr. Greenberg’s most impactful contribution is his prospective, multicenter ATLAS trial (2021), which evaluated a long-term bioabsorbable mesh with Sepra technology in challenging laparoscopic ventral hernia repairs among high-risk patients, providing critical evidence on surgical site occurrence prevention. He also authored a landmark review of twelve years of Fellowship Council case logs (2022), making a compelling case for a new post-graduate hernia designation that has shaped training pathways. His work on coding for abdominal wall reconstruction offers pragmatic, evidence-based guidance for surgeons navigating reimbursement complexities. With over 30 citations across his top papers, Dr. Greenberg’s scholarship is widely referenced by peers. He has also contributed to the ongoing debate on robotics versus laparoscopy, and his case reports, such as on unusual trocar site hernias, highlight his attention to rare but clinically significant complications.
