About

Dr. Poppy Addison is a leading researcher in robotic surgery, with a focus on objective skill assessment, surgical education, and clinical outcomes. Her work has pioneered the use of kinematic data and video-based analysis to quantify surgical performance, moving beyond traditional subjective evaluations. Notably, her 2020 paper on robotic colorectal surgery has garnered 46 citations, establishing a foundation for modern minimally invasive techniques. Dr. Addison’s 2022 review on objective assessment of robotic surgical skills (33 citations) has become a key reference for the field, outlining future directions for competency-based training. She has also made significant contributions to equity in surgery, demonstrating that blinded intraoperative evaluations can eliminate gender-based bias in skill assessments (10 citations). Her pilot studies on kinematic metrics in robotic cholecystectomies and inguinal hernia repairs (9 and 6 citations) are breaking down technical performance into measurable components, while her work on outcome prediction in bariatric surgery (4 citations) links video assessment to patient results. Through her research, Dr. Addison is shaping the future of surgical training and quality assurance, ensuring that robotic surgery is both safer and more equitable.
