Clinical Interests:
Laparoscopic hernia repair, routine and complex ventral and inguinal hernias, hernias in women, abdominal wall reconstruction, critical care, enteral and parenteral nurtrition

Research Interests:
a. Hernias Database:  I am reviewing all the hernias performed at Duke in the last 7 years to create a resource for retrospective and prospective study of patients coming to the Duke Hernia Center.  I am currently preparing a statement about the presentation/treatment of hernias in women, which I hope to present at Digestive Diseases Week/Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Track in May.
b. Surgisis Mesh:  Cook Surgical has given me a $5,000 unrestricted grant for preparing a video of Surgisis mesh placement in a patient with infected ventral hernia mesh.  Dr. Pappas and I continue to use this mesh in patients with infected hernias and plan to publish a case series of these cases soon.  
c. Enterra Device:  Dr. Pappas and I continue to work with Medtronic to place Enterra gastric pacing devices in patients with severe gastroparesis.  We are one of the few sites in the country to do this via a laparoscope.
