About
Dr. Stefanie Croghan is a pioneering surgeon and researcher at the forefront of robotic surgery and its integration into modern healthcare. Her work spans three critical domains: the use of telepresence and robotics in surgical ward rounds, the safety of robotic surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the development of innovative training models for complex procedures. Her most cited paper, “Robot-assisted surgical ward rounds: virtually always there” (21 citations), introduces a groundbreaking concept for off-site clinician-patient communication, challenging traditional ward-based care. During the pandemic, her systematic review on robotic abdominal surgery (8 citations) provided essential guidance on safe practice, addressing urgent global concerns. More recently, she co-designed a high-fidelity, low-cost simulation model for robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (4 citations), a tool that promises to democratize training for urology residents. Her 2025 national cross-sectional analysis (3 citations) further demonstrates her commitment to shaping governance and policy for robotic surgery in Ireland. Dr. Croghan’s work is not only technically innovative but also deeply practical, aiming to improve patient outcomes, enhance surgical training, and establish robust ethical frameworks for emerging technologies.
