About

Dr. Peggy Mancuso is a leading voice in perioperative nursing, with her most-cited work, “Perceptions and experiences of perioperative nurses and nurse anaesthetists in robotic‐assisted surgery” (2019, 42 citations), fundamentally shaping our understanding of the human factors in robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS). Her research zeroes in on the critical, often overlooked, experiences of perioperative nurses and Certified Registered Nurse Anaesthetists (CRNAs) as they navigate this high-tech surgical landscape. Mancuso’s key contribution lies in identifying the specific factors—from workflow disruptions to communication challenges—that directly impact nursing care and patient safety during RALS. By giving voice to these frontline professionals, her work has provided actionable insights for improving team dynamics, training protocols, and the design of robotic surgery suites. With a career dedicated to bridging the gap between technological advancement and compassionate, effective patient care, Dr. Mancuso’s scholarship is essential reading for any healthcare professional or researcher seeking to optimize the human side of robotic surgery.
