About
Barbara J. Broome is a leading figure in advancing surgical innovation, with a primary focus on the application of robotic technology in acute care settings. Her most significant contribution is pioneering the investigation of robotic surgery for emergency procedures, a domain traditionally dominated by open and laparoscopic techniques. As the lead author of the landmark ROEM (Role of Robotic Surgery in Emergency Setting) protocol, she established the foundational framework for a multicentre, international study that aims to define the safety, feasibility, and patient selection criteria for using robotic platforms in non-elective surgery. This work directly challenges conventional surgical paradigms, seeking to expand the benefits of minimally invasive robotics—such as enhanced precision and reduced recovery times—to critically ill patients. While her highly cited protocol (7 citations) is still accruing impact, its publication in 2024 signals a pivotal shift in the field. Broome’s research is instrumental in shaping future guidelines and training for emergency surgeons, positioning her as a key architect in the evolution of robotic acute care surgery.
