About
Olga Sitsiani is an orthopaedic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing total knee arthroplasty through robotic-assisted surgical technologies. Her primary research areas include surgical robotics, operative efficiency, and the learning curves associated with emerging orthopedic tools. Sitsiani’s most notable contribution is her landmark 2023 study, “The learning curve to ROSA: cases needed to match the surgery time between a robotic-assisted and a manual primary total knee arthroplasty,” which has garnered 27 citations. In this work, she systematically evaluated how many cases an expert surgeon requires to master the ROSA (Robotic Surgical Assistant) system and achieve operative times comparable to manual techniques. Her findings provide critical benchmarks for hospitals adopting robotic platforms, directly impacting surgical training protocols and resource allocation. By quantifying the transition from manual to robotic arthroplasty, Sitsiani has helped demystify the adoption process, offering evidence-based guidance for surgeons and institutions. Her research bridges the gap between technological innovation and clinical practice, making her a key voice in the ongoing evolution of joint replacement surgery.
