About

Catriona M. Douglas is a leading surgical researcher whose work centers on advancing head and neck oncological surgery through the integration of cutting-edge imaging technologies. Her primary research areas include image-guided surgery, surgical performance, and the optimization of the operating room environment for complex oncological cases. Her most notable contribution, "The image‐guided operating room—Utility and impact on surgeon's performance in the head and neck surgery" (2019, 16 citations), provides critical insight into how real-time imaging can enhance precision and decision-making in challenging procedures. By systematically evaluating the utility of image-guided systems, Douglas has helped bridge the gap between emerging technologies and their practical application in head and neck oncology—a field where such integration was previously underdeveloped. Her work has been instrumental in demonstrating that these tools not only improve surgical accuracy but also positively influence surgeon performance and patient outcomes. Through her research, Douglas continues to shape the future of minimally invasive, technology-driven surgical care, making her a key figure in the evolution of modern head and neck surgery.
