About
Charlotte Paltved is a leading researcher in surgical education and skills transfer, with a focus on the evolving landscape of minimally invasive and robotic surgery. Her work critically examines how competencies developed in one surgical modality—such as laparoscopy or open surgery—translate to another, addressing a pressing gap in modern surgical training. In her highly cited 2022 study (14 citations), she investigates the transferability of laparoscopic and open surgical skills to robotic surgery, providing essential evidence for curriculum design as robotic platforms become more prevalent. A complementary study (4 citations) explores the reverse concern: whether surgeons trained primarily in minimally invasive techniques retain proficiency in open surgery, particularly in managing complications like bleeding. Paltved’s research is instrumental in shaping evidence-based training pathways, ensuring patient safety during technological transitions. Her contributions are vital for surgical educators and trainees navigating the shift toward robotic-assisted procedures, highlighting the need for deliberate, structured skill transfer rather than assumed equivalence.
