About
Maurice Anidjar is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work has significantly advanced the field of robotic surgical education and simulation training. His research centers on three interconnected domains: robotic and laparoscopic surgical simulation, robot-assisted urological procedures, and surgical training methodology. Anidjar's most impactful contributions lie in validating simulation-based training for robotic surgery. His landmark 2013 study validating the da Vinci Surgical Skills Simulator across urology, gynecology, and general surgery (57 citations) established a critical foundation for standardized robotic training curricula. Complementing this, his randomized controlled trial on virtual reality and hybrid simulation for robotic training (47 citations) demonstrated that laparoscopic simulators could be effectively adapted for robotic platforms, influencing how surgical programs worldwide approach novice training. His 2020 study on skill transferability from simulator to operating room during robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy further bridges simulation and real-world performance, addressing one of surgical education's most pressing questions. Beyond training research, Anidjar has contributed to robotic partial nephrectomy outcomes, prostate cancer biopsy accuracy, and novel anatomical classification systems for puboprostatic ligaments. With over 175 cumulative citations, his body of work has meaningfully shaped how the next generation of robotic surgeons is trained and assessed.
