About
Jeannette Weber is a leading researcher in the field of surgical ergonomics and patient safety, with a primary focus on robotic-assisted surgery. Her work investigates the critical intersection of human factors, teamwork, and technology in the operating room. Weber’s major contributions center on understanding how intraoperative flow disruptions—unexpected events that interrupt the surgical workflow—impact both surgical performance and team dynamics. Her highly cited 2018 study, with 75 citations, demonstrated that these disruptions significantly increase mental workload and degrade technical performance during robotic procedures. In a complementary study (61 citations), she established clear associations between such disruptions and diminished operating room teamwork during robotic-assisted radical prostatectomies. By quantifying these effects, Weber has provided essential evidence for designing safer surgical systems and improving team training. Her research is instrumental in advancing the field of surgical safety, offering actionable insights for reducing errors and enhancing patient outcomes in the rapidly evolving domain of robotic surgery.
