About
Isabel de Angst is a pioneering researcher in the field of robotic surgery training, with a particular focus on standardizing multidisciplinary education. Her most-cited work, "Current training on the basics of robotic surgery in the Netherlands: Time for a multidisciplinary approach?" (2016, 23 citations), critically examines the fragmented training pathways among surgical specialties and advocates for a unified, competency-based curriculum. By surveying robot professionals across disciplines, de Angst identified significant disparities in training protocols and usage patterns, arguing that these inconsistencies compromise patient safety and surgical efficiency. Her research underscores the urgent need for collaborative, cross-specialty basic skills programs—a call that has shaped ongoing discussions in surgical education. Beyond this landmark paper, de Angst’s contributions have influenced policy recommendations for robotic surgery training in the Netherlands, positioning her as a key voice in bridging gaps between urology, gynecology, and general surgery. Her work remains essential reading for educators, trainees, and policymakers seeking to harmonize robotic surgery training standards.
