About
Max Bergholz is a leading researcher in the field of robot-assisted surgery (RAS), with a primary focus on haptic feedback systems and their impact on surgical outcomes. His most influential work, a 2023 meta-analysis on the benefits of haptic feedback in RAS, has already garnered 95 citations, establishing him as a key voice in this rapidly evolving domain. Bergholz’s major contribution lies in systematically identifying and quantifying the moderators that determine when and how haptic feedback improves surgical precision, reducing the strain on surgeons and enhancing patient recovery. By synthesizing data across multiple studies, he has provided a crucial evidence base for the design of next-generation surgical robots that restore the tactile sensations lost in conventional RAS. His work bridges engineering and clinical practice, offering actionable insights for developers and surgeons alike. Bergholz’s research is particularly notable for its rigorous methodology and its potential to transform minimally invasive procedures, making surgery safer and more intuitive. For students and researchers, his work represents a vital roadmap for understanding how artificial haptics can close the sensory gap in teleoperated surgery.
