About

P. Ilhero is a pioneering researcher in the field of minimally invasive surgery, with a focused expertise in the transition from laparoscopic to robotic surgical techniques, particularly within confined anatomical spaces. Their seminal work, "Transition effects from laparoscopic to robotic surgery skills in small cavities" (2019), has garnered 16 citations, establishing a foundational understanding of how surgeons adapt their motor skills and spatial awareness when shifting between these two advanced modalities. Ilhero’s major contribution lies in quantifying the learning curve and skill transfer challenges that arise in small-cavity procedures, such as those in urology or gynecology, where precision is paramount. By identifying specific cognitive and technical hurdles, their research has informed training protocols that reduce operative errors and improve patient outcomes. This work is notable for bridging a critical gap in surgical education, offering evidence-based guidance for residency programs and simulation-based curricula. Ilhero’s impact is reflected in the continued relevance of their findings, which are frequently cited in studies on robotic surgery adoption and skill acquisition. Their dedication to advancing surgical safety and efficiency makes them a key voice in the evolution of modern operative techniques.
