About

Dr. Ebunoluwa Otegbeye is a surgical researcher whose work centers on improving outcomes in complex abdominal wall reconstruction, with a particular focus on the transversus abdominis release (TAR) procedure. Her most-cited study, "Chronological age does not predict postoperative outcomes following transversus abdominis release (TAR)" (2021, 8 citations), challenges conventional surgical dogma by demonstrating that patient age alone should not determine candidacy for this demanding operation. This contribution has significant clinical implications, encouraging surgeons to evaluate patients based on physiological status rather than chronological age, thereby expanding access to life-improving surgery for older adults. Dr. Otegbeye’s research is notable for its direct impact on surgical decision-making and patient selection criteria, reflecting a commitment to evidence-based, equitable care. Her work has been cited in subsequent studies on hernia repair and surgical risk stratification, underscoring its relevance to the field. As a rising voice in surgical outcomes research, Dr. Otegbeye continues to investigate factors that optimize recovery and quality of life for patients undergoing major abdominal procedures.
