About

Patrice Crochet is a pioneering figure in the advancement of robotic-assisted gynecologic surgery, with a focused expertise in minimally invasive techniques for complex reproductive pathologies. Her most cited work, a 2016 case report on the robotic-assisted laparoscopic treatment of residual ectopic pregnancy in a previous cesarean section scar, has garnered 13 citations and established a critical protocol for managing this rare but dangerous condition. Crochet’s contributions extend to surgical education and standardization; her 2020 study on learning intracorporeal suture using a robotized versus conventional needle holder (8 citations) provides evidence-based insights into training efficiency for robotic surgery. Most recently, she led an international expert consensus-driven Delphi study to create a surgical process model for robot-assisted hysterectomy, published in 2025. This landmark work, already cited twice, sets a global benchmark for procedural consistency and quality. Through her research, Crochet has not only advanced surgical techniques for scar ectopic pregnancies but also pioneered structured training methodologies and consensus frameworks that enhance safety and reproducibility in robotic gynecology, making her a key contributor to the field’s evolution.
