About
Dr. Amy Yetasook is a leading voice in surgical education and the adoption of robotic technology, with her work shaping how the next generation of surgeons is trained. Her research centers on the integration of robotic surgery into general surgery, focusing on both the technical outcomes of these procedures and the critical question of how to best prepare residents for their use. Her most impactful contribution, a national survey of program directors published in 2022, directly addressed whether robotic surgery training should become a residency requirement, a pivotal study that has garnered 28 citations and sparked essential dialogue within the field. Dr. Yetasook’s work extends to comparative effectiveness, as seen in her 2025 national database review of robotic inguinal hernia repair against open and laparoscopic approaches. By providing crucial data on safety and efficacy, her research helps guide clinical decision-making and the development of standardized training curricula, ensuring that surgical innovation is matched by rigorous, evidence-based education.
