About

Egide Abahuje is a surgical researcher whose work centers on improving intraoperative performance and patient safety through the study of non-technical skills. His most cited paper, "Intraoperative Assessment of Non-Technical Skills for Surgeons (NOTSS) and Qualitative Description of their Effects on Intraoperative Performance" (2022, 13 citations), provides critical insights into how communication, teamwork, and decision-making directly influence surgical outcomes. By systematically evaluating the NOTSS framework, Abahuje has helped bridge the gap between technical expertise and behavioral competencies, offering a qualitative lens on how surgeons’ interpersonal skills affect real-time performance in the operating room. This contribution is particularly valuable for surgical education and quality improvement initiatives, as it underscores the need for structured assessment tools beyond traditional metrics. While his citation count reflects a growing recognition of this niche but vital area, his work has implications for reducing errors and enhancing collaborative care. Abahuje’s research positions him as a thoughtful voice in the movement to integrate human factors into surgical training, making him a key figure for students and clinicians interested in the intersection of behavioral science and operative practice.
