About
Dr. Teresa Perra is a surgical researcher focused on the rigorous evaluation of emerging technologies, particularly in minimally invasive and robot-assisted surgery. Her major contributions center on applying the IDEAL (Idea, Development, Exploration, Assessment, Long-term follow-up) framework to assess the quality of reporting in surgical innovation. In her highly cited 2022 systematic review on robot-assisted anti-reflux surgery (13 citations), she critically examined reporting standards for this increasingly common treatment of refractory gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. Her parallel 2022 work on robotic cholecystectomy (11 citations) further demonstrated her commitment to methodological rigor, revealing how often innovative procedures are introduced without adequate evaluation. By systematically identifying gaps in how surgeons report outcomes and complications, Dr. Perra’s research provides a vital blueprint for safer adoption of robotic techniques. Her work is essential reading for any surgeon or trainee seeking to understand how to responsibly integrate new technologies into clinical practice, ensuring that innovation does not outpace the evidence needed to protect patients.
