About
Jacques Hubert is a pioneering surgeon and researcher whose career has profoundly shaped the fields of robotic surgery, surgical training, and minimally invasive urology. Working at the intersection of clinical practice and surgical education, Hubert has dedicated much of his research to establishing rigorous, evidence-based frameworks for training the next generation of robotic surgeons. His landmark 2014 consensus statement on standardised robotic surgery curricula (178 citations) brought together international experts to define how robotic skills should be taught and validated globally, while his validation of the dV-Trainer® simulator (177 citations) helped establish virtual reality as a credible tool for surgical assessment. Hubert also investigated the critical question of latency in telesurgery (209 citations), defining acceptable performance thresholds that directly inform remote surgical systems. Beyond education, his early clinical contributions — including robotic-assisted living donor nephrectomies, pelvic organ prolapse surgery, and the remarkable achievement of performing cystoprostatectomy in tetraplegic patients — demonstrated extraordinary surgical innovation. His ergonomic research (137 citations) further highlighted the physical toll of laparoscopic surgery on surgeons, advocating for robotic systems as a solution. Collectively, Hubert's work has accumulated nearly 1,100 citations, cementing his reputation as a transformative figure in robotic surgical science.
