About
A. Manuguerra is a leading researcher in the field of surgical safety and human factors, with a primary focus on the integration of non-technical skills in robotic surgery. Their major contribution lies in demonstrating how teamwork, communication, and decision-making directly influence patient outcomes in high-stakes robotic operating rooms. In their landmark multi-center study, "Non-technical skills in robotic surgery and impact on near-miss events," Manuguerra and colleagues provided the first robust evidence that deficiencies in these skills are linked to a significant increase in near-miss events, a finding that has garnered 28 citations and reshaped training protocols. This work has been instrumental in shifting surgical education beyond pure technical proficiency, advocating for structured assessment and simulation of cognitive and interpersonal competencies. Manuguerra’s research is pivotal for developing safer robotic surgery environments, and their findings are now referenced in international guidelines for surgical team training, making them a key voice in the movement toward holistic surgical excellence.
