About
Elisa Bolognone is a leading researcher in surgical education and robotic surgery, with a focus on developing and validating training methodologies for urological procedures. Her most-cited work, a 2017 study comparing two robotic virtual reality simulators, critically evaluated trainees' skill transfer to a simulated robotic urethrovesical anastomosis task—a cornerstone of prostate cancer surgery. This research, cited 25 times, has helped shape evidence-based curricula for robotic surgery training, emphasizing the importance of simulator fidelity and objective performance metrics. Bolognone’s contributions bridge the gap between simulation-based learning and clinical competence, offering insights into how novices acquire complex psychomotor skills. Her work is particularly impactful for surgical educators and trainees seeking to optimize training efficiency and patient safety. By rigorously assessing skill transfer, she has advanced the field’s understanding of how virtual reality can prepare surgeons for real-world procedures, making her a key figure in the ongoing evolution of robotic surgical education.
