About

Orla McNally is a leading figure in gynecologic surgery, with a focused expertise in advancing robotic-assisted hysterectomy. Her work directly addresses the critical gap between the rapid clinical adoption of robotic technology and the lack of standardized training. McNally’s major contribution lies in defining the objective metrics of surgical competence, as demonstrated in her seminal systematic review, which provides the foundational evidence for a structured robotic hysterectomy curriculum. By identifying valid performance indicators that reliably distinguish skill levels, she has paved the way for safer, more effective training programs. This research is essential for ensuring that the growing number of robotic procedures meet a high standard of patient care. While her most-cited paper is recent, its impact is already being felt in surgical education, establishing her as a key voice in the future of gynecologic training. Her work is a vital resource for any surgeon or researcher seeking to build or evaluate a robotic surgery curriculum.
