About

Aimee Wilkinson is a surgical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of innovation, ethics, and evidence-based practice. Her primary research areas include the evaluation of emerging surgical technologies, the application of the IDEAL framework to assess novel procedures, and the ethical implications of neuroenhancement in surgical training. Wilkinson’s most cited paper, a 2022 systematic review on robot-assisted anti-reflux surgery (RA-ARS), critically examined reporting standards in the field, highlighting the need for rigorous, staged evaluation of surgical innovation to ensure patient safety and reproducibility. This work, with 13 citations, underscores her commitment to methodological transparency. In a thought-provoking 2021 study, she explored the opinions of students, surgeons, and patients on the use of neuroenhancement to boost future surgeons’ performance—a forward-looking contribution that engages with the ethical and social dimensions of surgical advancement. Though early in her career, Wilkinson’s work demonstrates a clear vision: to guide the responsible integration of cutting-edge technologies into surgery, balancing ambition with accountability. Her research is essential reading for anyone interested in how we can innovate without compromising the core values of surgical care.
