About
Hanna Rothenberg is a rising researcher at the intersection of surgical robotics and extended reality, whose work is shaping the future of safer, more effective surgical training and practice. Her primary research areas include robot-assisted surgery (RAS), extended reality (XR) simulators, and radiation safety in orthopedic trauma. Rothenberg’s major contributions are twofold: first, she demonstrated through a systematic review and meta-analysis that XR-based simulators significantly improve RAS training outcomes, addressing the steep learning curve that has long hindered the adoption of robotic systems. This work, her most cited paper with 11 citations, provides a critical evidence base for integrating virtual and augmented reality into surgical curricula. Second, her meta-analysis on robotic surgery in orthopedics revealed that robotic guidance substantially reduces radiation exposure compared to manual fluoroscopy, a finding with profound implications for the safety of both patients and healthcare providers. With a total of 16 citations across her most-cited works, Rothenberg is establishing herself as a key voice in evidence-based surgical innovation, offering practical solutions that enhance training efficacy and procedural safety.
