About
David Homewood is a leading figure in the standardization of robotic surgical training, with his work directly shaping how surgeons around the world are educated in this rapidly expanding field. His most impactful contribution is the landmark "IMRA/SRS Delphi consensus" paper (2024, 7 citations), which established the first international framework for core components of robotic surgery curricula. This work addresses a critical gap: as robotic surgery proliferates globally, training pathways have remained inconsistent. Homewood’s consensus provides a much-needed, standardized blueprint that institutions can adopt to ensure quality and safety. Beyond this, his clinical expertise is demonstrated in a "Case of the Month" (2023, 2 citations) from the University of Melbourne, where he presented an updated algorithm for managing refractory chyle leak after retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND)—a challenging complication in germ cell cancer treatment. This work highlights his dual focus on both the macro-level of educational standards and the micro-level of complex surgical problem-solving. Homewood’s research is essential reading for anyone involved in robotic surgery or advanced urologic oncology.
