About
Karishma Behera is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of surgical education and robotic-assisted technology. Her work centers on understanding how traditional laparoscopic skills translate to the rapidly evolving field of robotic surgery, a critical question as operating rooms worldwide adopt robotic systems. In her highly cited 2024 systematic review, "Transferring laparoscopic skills to robotic-assisted surgery," Behera synthesized evidence from multiple studies, revealing that while foundational dexterity transfers, distinct training protocols are essential for mastering robotic interfaces. This contribution has been cited 8 times in just its first year, signaling its immediate impact on surgical curricula and credentialing standards. Beyond this landmark paper, Behera’s research agenda includes investigating simulation-based training efficacy and the cognitive load differences between laparoscopic and robotic platforms. Her work is directly shaping how surgical residents and practicing surgeons acquire new competencies, ensuring patient safety during technological transitions. Behera’s ability to bridge clinical practice with educational theory positions her as a key voice in the future of minimally invasive surgery training.
