About

Dr. Thomas Charles Wood is a leading figure in the advancement of robotic surgery, with a particular focus on gynaecology and the critical role of non-technical skills. His most influential work, the development and validation of the ICARS system (69 citations), provides a standardized tool for evaluating non-technical performance in robotic surgery, addressing a crucial gap in surgical training and safety. Dr. Wood’s research also explores the evolution of robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery in gynaecology (26 citations), highlighting its transformative potential for patient outcomes. His single-centre experience with robot-assisted pyeloplasty (7 citations) further demonstrates his technical expertise across surgical specialties. By emphasizing the importance of communication, teamwork, and decision-making in the robotic operating room (2 citations), Dr. Wood is shaping a more holistic approach to surgical excellence. His work not only advances surgical technology but also ensures that the human factors driving its success are rigorously assessed and improved.
