About
Dr. Sara Ragab is a leading researcher at the intersection of surgical robotics and immersive technology. Her primary focus is on enhancing surgical education through extended reality (XR), including virtual and augmented reality, to address the steep learning curve in robot-assisted surgery (RAS). In her landmark 2025 systematic review and meta-analysis, "Impact of extended reality on robot-assisted surgery training," she synthesized global evidence to demonstrate how XR simulators can effectively replace traditional animal and plastic models for RAS training. This work, already garnering 11 citations in its first year, provides a critical evidence base for integrating cost-effective, scalable XR tools into surgical curricula. Dr. Ragab’s contributions are pivotal in democratizing access to high-quality surgical training, reducing reliance on costly physical models, and ultimately improving patient safety. Her research is shaping the future of how surgeons master complex robotic systems, making her a key voice in the ongoing digital transformation of medical education.
