About
Dr. Feiyang Pan is a leading researcher in surgical ergonomics and the human factors of minimally invasive surgery, with a particular focus on the physical and mental well-being of surgeons. Her most cited work, a 2021 systematic review titled "Are Surgeons Working Smarter or Harder?," critically evaluates the demands of robotic versus laparoscopic and open surgery. This landmark study synthesizes evidence to reveal that while robotic platforms offer patient benefits, they impose distinct physical and cognitive burdens on surgeons—challenging the assumption that technology inherently reduces workload. By quantifying these ergonomic trade-offs, Dr. Pan’s research has become essential reading for surgical training programs and hospital administrators seeking to optimize operating room environments and prevent surgeon burnout. Her work bridges the gap between surgical innovation and occupational health, earning her recognition as a key voice in the movement toward surgeon-centered design. With 16 citations and growing influence, Dr. Pan continues to shape how the medical community understands the hidden costs of technological progress in the operating room.
