About
Dr. Emir Karadza is a surgical researcher whose work lies at the critical intersection of robotic surgery, simulation-based training, and skill transferability. His research fundamentally challenges assumptions about surgical expertise, demonstrating through a landmark prospective study (70 citations) that skills in minimally invasive and open surgery show only limited transferability to robotic platforms—a finding with profound implications for surgical credentialing and curriculum design. Dr. Karadza has pioneered innovative training methodologies, including the development of biotissue models for pancreatic anastomotic suturing (2023) and the ROSIM randomized controlled trial (2024), which compares robotic simulation against dry-lab suturing for novice training in robotic hepaticojejunostomy. His work addresses the pressing need for evidence-based, cost-effective robotic training curricula that optimize skill acquisition while minimizing resource expenditure. By systematically evaluating how surgeons learn complex robotic procedures and identifying the limitations of cross-platform skill transfer, Dr. Karadza is helping shape the future of surgical education, ensuring that the next generation of robotic surgeons is trained with maximum efficiency and clinical relevance.
