About
Elisa Reitano is a surgical researcher whose work focuses on the acquisition and assessment of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) skills, particularly among novice trainees. Her major contribution lies in advancing the understanding of how surgical competence develops across different levels of experience, using rigorous prospective observational methodologies. Her most-cited study, "A prospective observational study on minimally invasive surgery skill acquisition across novice levels" (2023), provides critical insights into the learning curves and performance metrics that can guide training curricula in MIS. This work has already garnered attention for its practical implications in surgical education, helping to define benchmarks for novice skill progression. Reitano’s research bridges the gap between simulation-based training and real-world surgical performance, offering evidence-based frameworks to improve patient safety and training efficiency. Her findings are particularly valuable for residency programs and surgical educators seeking to standardize skill acquisition. With a growing citation impact, Reitano is establishing herself as a key voice in surgical education, contributing to the development of more effective, data-driven training pathways for the next generation of minimally invasive surgeons.
