Their recent papers include:

  • Carotid endarterectomy or stenting or best medical treatment alone for moderate-to-severe asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis: 5-year results of a multicentre, randomised controlled trial (2022, The Lancet Neurology)
  • Using virtual 3D-models in surgical planning: workflow of an immersive virtual reality application in liver surgery (2021, Langenbeck s Archives of Surgery)
  • Virtual reality and 3D printing improve preoperative visualization of 3D liver reconstructions-results from a preclinical comparison of presentation modalities and user's preference (2021, Annals of Translational Medicine)
  • Toward interprofessional team training for surgeons and anesthesiologists using virtual reality (2020, International Journal of Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery)
  • "Prophylactic" transanal irrigation (TAI) to prevent symptoms of low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) after rectal resection: results at 12-month follow-up of a controlled randomized multicenter trial (2020, Techniques in Coloproctology)

Frequent co-authors that have collaborated with Hohenberger include:

  • Hauke Lang
  • Tobias Huber
  • Florentine Huettl
  • M. Paschold
  • Jonas F. Schiemer

Hohenberger has published their work in several specialized venues, with notable frequency in:
