About
Brooke E. Willborg is a researcher advancing the field of surgical simulation and gynecologic robotics. Her work centers on the validation of novel training tools for minimally invasive procedures, with a particular focus on robotic hysterectomy. In her most-cited paper, "Surgical Science–Simbionix Robotic Hysterectomy Simulator: Validating a New Tool" (2022), she led a rigorous study to establish the simulator’s construct validity, demonstrating its ability to differentiate between novice and expert surgeons. This contribution is critical for improving surgical education and patient safety, as it provides a reliable platform for skill assessment and training. While her citation count is still growing—with 4 citations for this key paper—her work represents an early, foundational step in a rapidly evolving field. Willborg’s research addresses a pressing need for standardized, evidence-based simulation in gynecology, and her findings are already informing curriculum development. As robotic surgery expands, her validation studies will likely become essential references for educators and trainees seeking to bridge the gap between simulation and clinical proficiency.
