About
Andrew Perry is a leading figure in surgical education and urological oncology, best known for his pioneering work on the learning curve in robot-assisted surgery. His landmark 2010 study, “Robot‐assisted radical prostatectomy: learning rate analysis as an objective measure of the acquisition of surgical skill,” with 53 citations, introduced an industrial definition of learning-curve analysis to the surgical field. This work provided an objective, quantitative framework for measuring how experienced open surgeons acquire new robotic skills, fundamentally changing how surgical training and credentialing are approached. By demonstrating that skill acquisition in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) follows a measurable, predictable pattern, Perry helped establish evidence-based benchmarks for surgical competence. His research bridges the gap between engineering principles and clinical practice, offering a rigorous methodology for evaluating surgical learning that has been widely adopted. Perry’s contributions are essential reading for anyone studying surgical education, robotics, or quality improvement in urology, as they provide the tools to objectively assess and improve surgical performance in an era of rapidly advancing technology.
