About
Jan Witowski is a leading researcher at the intersection of surgical robotics, virtual reality (VR) simulation, and colorectal oncology. His work is pioneering the use of advanced computational tools to transform surgical training and practice. Dr. Witowski’s most significant contribution is the development and validation of the first-ever virtual reality simulator for robot-assisted minimally invasive liver surgery. This novel simulator, coded in C++ using PhysX and FleX, incorporates a unique cutting algorithm and patient-derived anatomical models, representing a major leap in surgical education. He is also investigating the value of kinematic data for objective skill assessment, pushing the field toward data-driven proficiency metrics. In the realm of colorectal surgery, Dr. Witowski has conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing laparoscopic versus robotic rectal surgery with primary anastomosis, adding critical evidence to the ongoing debate over surgical approaches. While his work is still accumulating citations—with his VR simulator paper garnering 17 citations—its foundational nature positions him as a rising authority in the digital transformation of surgery.
