About
Dr. Elena Rangelova is a pioneering surgeon-researcher whose work centers on advancing pancreatic surgery through innovative training methodologies and clinical outcomes. Her major contributions lie in the development of realistic biotissue training models for anastomotic suturing, a critical skill in complex pancreatic procedures. Her most-cited paper, "Development of biotissue training models for anastomotic suturing in pancreatic surgery" (2023, 14 citations), demonstrates her commitment to bridging the gap between simulation and surgical practice, offering a reproducible, low-cost platform that enhances technical proficiency and patient safety. This work has been recognized as a foundational step in standardizing surgical education for high-risk operations. Beyond this, Dr. Rangelova’s research integrates evidence-based approaches to improve postoperative recovery and reduce complications, with her cumulative work influencing training protocols internationally. Her achievements include leadership in surgical simulation initiatives and collaborations that translate bench-to-bedside innovations. For students and researchers, Dr. Rangelova exemplifies how targeted, translational research can directly elevate surgical training and patient care in one of medicine’s most challenging fields.
