About
Robin High is a leading researcher in surgical ergonomics and robotic surgery safety, with a focus on minimizing physical strain and technical failures in the operating room. Their most cited work, "Ergonomics of minimally invasive surgery" (86 citations), provides critical insights into muscle effort and fatigue during laparoscopic versus robotic procedures, highlighting how robotic systems can reduce surgeon injury. High also co-authored a seminal international survey on da Vinci robotic system malfunctions during prostatectomy (61 citations), which identified how urologists manage technical failures—a study that has shaped safety protocols and training for robot-assisted surgery. This work underscores High’s impact on both surgeon well-being and patient safety, bridging human factors engineering with clinical practice. Their research is widely cited by surgeons, engineers, and hospital administrators seeking to optimize OR ergonomics and robotic reliability. High’s contributions have been instrumental in advancing safer, more sustainable surgical practices, making them a key voice in the evolving field of minimally invasive surgery.
