About

Dr. Komal Srinivasa is a pioneering surgical educator and robotic surgeon whose work is reshaping training paradigms in hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) surgery. Her research centers on two critical areas: the quality of online surgical education and the development of structured robotic training curricula. In her highly cited 2024 study, "Educational quality of Robotic Whipple videos on YouTube," she systematically evaluated the reliability of freely available surgical content, revealing significant gaps in educational value and sparking essential conversations about digital learning resources. Building on this, her 2025 scoping review proposed a comprehensive, evidence-based curriculum for robotic HPB training, addressing a long-standing need for standardized skill acquisition pathways. Though early in her career, her work has already garnered over 7 citations, reflecting its immediate relevance to practicing surgeons and trainees alike. Dr. Srinivasa’s contributions are notable for bridging the gap between informal online learning and formal surgical education, offering practical frameworks that promise to elevate the quality and safety of robotic HPB procedures worldwide.
