About

Steven M. Elzein is a rising leader in robotic surgery, focusing on skill assessment, clinical feasibility, and global research trends. His primary research areas include competency-based training for robotic procedures, the adoption of robotic cholecystectomy in academic settings, and the bibliometric mapping of robotic metabolic and bariatric surgery. Elzein’s major contributions include the development of the Competency-Based Assessment of Robotic Surgery Skills (CARS) scale, a novel tool for evaluating general surgery residents’ robotic proficiency, which has already garnered 6 citations since its 2024 publication. He also demonstrated the feasibility of robotic cholecystectomy in a young robotic surgery program, providing evidence that such programs can safely adopt advanced techniques—a study cited 5 times. His bibliometric analysis of robotic metabolic and bariatric surgery, with 4 citations, offers a comprehensive overview of global research output, highlighting emerging hotspots and collaboration networks. Notably, Elzein’s work bridges surgical education and clinical practice, offering practical frameworks for training and implementation. His early citation impact underscores his growing influence in shaping the future of robotic surgery, making him a key voice for students and researchers interested in surgical innovation, education, and evidence-based adoption of new technologies.
