About
Troy Reihsen is a leading figure in surgical education and simulation, with a focus on urologic laparoscopy and robotic surgery. His most influential work centers on the development and validation of structured training curricula to standardize skill acquisition. Reihsen was instrumental in introducing and validating the American Urological Association Basic Laparoscopic Urologic Surgery Skills Curriculum, a landmark contribution that established evidence-based benchmarks for urology residents. This work, cited over 55 times, directly translates the principles of the Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery (FLS) into the urologic domain, providing a validated framework for assessing and improving technical proficiency. Beyond curriculum design, Reihsen has pioneered the use of exploratory visualization to analyze complex surgical performance data. By integrating force, position, rotation, and synchronized video from hundreds of bimanual tasks, his research enables trainees and educators to identify patterns in skill acquisition, offering a data-driven path to mastery. His work bridges the gap between simulation technology and practical surgical training, making him a key contributor to modern, evidence-based surgical education.
