About

Jessie A. Elliott is a surgical researcher whose work centers on the global disparities in robotic surgery training and adoption. Her most-cited paper, "The Atlantic divide: contrasting surgical robotics training in the USA, UK and Ireland" (2022, 14 citations), highlights a critical gap: while robotic surgery is rapidly expanding worldwide, its use is far more prevalent in the United States than in the UK and Ireland. Elliott’s research underscores how reduced exposure to robotic platforms during surgical training in these regions may hinder skill development and patient access. By quantifying this transatlantic divide, she has brought attention to the need for standardized training curricula and international collaboration to ensure equitable surgical innovation. Her work is particularly impactful for trainees and educators navigating the integration of new technologies into practice. Elliott’s contributions serve as a call to action, urging healthcare systems to bridge training gaps and prepare the next generation of surgeons for a robotics-driven future.
