About
B. Comstock is a pioneering researcher in the intersection of surgical education and robotic technology, with a primary focus on validating simulation-based training for robotic surgery. Their most cited work, "Correlation of Virtual Reality Simulation and Dry Lab Robotic Technical Skills" (2017, 17 citations), established a critical link between virtual reality (VR) simulators and hands-on dry lab exercises, demonstrating that VR training effectively translates into measurable technical proficiency. This contribution has helped shape modern surgical curricula by providing evidence that low-cost, repeatable simulation tools can reliably assess and enhance robotic surgical skills. Comstock’s research addresses a pressing need in minimally invasive surgery: ensuring that trainees develop competence before entering the operating room. By quantifying the correlation between simulated and real-world performance, their work has influenced training protocols in urology, gynecology, and general surgery programs. With a citation count reflecting growing recognition in the field, Comstock continues to advance the science of surgical education, bridging the gap between technological innovation and patient safety. Their findings remain a cornerstone for institutions adopting robotic simulation as a standard training component.
