About
Santos Oshiotse is a leading researcher in surgical ergonomics and minimally invasive colorectal surgery, with a focus on improving the well-being of surgeons through technological innovation. Their most cited work, the VOLCANO randomised controlled trial (2024, 32 citations), is a landmark study demonstrating that robotic-assisted surgery using the open-console Versius® system significantly reduces ergonomic risk for surgeons during major colorectal resections. This contribution directly addresses the critical problem of musculoskeletal injuries caused by poor operating ergonomics in minimally invasive procedures. Oshiotse’s research bridges the gap between patient outcomes and surgeon health, advocating for safer, more sustainable surgical practices. By quantifying the ergonomic benefits of robotic platforms, their work has influenced operating room design and training protocols. With growing citation impact, Oshiotse is recognised as a key voice in the movement to prioritise surgeon longevity alongside surgical precision, making their research essential reading for clinicians and students interested in the future of ergonomic, human-centred surgical technology.
