About
Juan Tellez is a leading researcher in robotic surgery, with a focus on advancing surgical techniques and training methodologies. His work spans two key areas: the clinical application of single-port robotic systems in breast surgery and the development of proficiency-based curricula for surgical education. Tellez’s most notable contribution is his pioneering study on the safety and feasibility of single-port robotic-assisted nipple-sparing mastectomy (2024, 60 citations), which addresses critical limitations of multiport robots and expands minimally invasive options for breast cancer patients. In surgical training, he has developed and validated mastery-based virtual reality platforms for general surgery residents (2022, 49 citations), demonstrating their effectiveness and transferability. His research also includes selecting VR drills for robotic surgery curricula (2022, 21 citations) and identifying kinematic markers of intraoperative stress (2021, 6 citations), linking performance metrics to surgeon well-being. Through these contributions, Tellez has shaped how robotic surgery is taught and performed, with his work cited across clinical and educational domains. His achievements highlight a commitment to improving patient outcomes and surgeon proficiency in an evolving technological landscape.
