About
Kirsten Larkins is a leading researcher in robotic surgical education, whose work is shaping how surgeons are trained for the next generation of minimally invasive procedures. Her research focuses on three critical areas: defining clinically relevant performance metrics, designing video-based educational interventions, and developing platform-agnostic curricula that work across different robotic systems. Her most impactful work includes a multi-platform crossover trial on the transferability of robotic console skills (39 citations) and a systematic review establishing clinically relevant performance metrics for robotic surgery (26 citations). Larkins has been instrumental in establishing international standards through her work on the IMRA/SRS Delphi consensus, which defines core components for robotic training worldwide. Her meta-analysis on robotic resections for diverticular disease (18 citations) demonstrates her commitment to evidence-based surgical practice. With publications spanning from 2022 to 2025, Larkins is at the forefront of addressing the critical challenge of standardizing robotic surgical training across platforms and institutions, ensuring that as robotic technology evolves, surgeon competence keeps pace.
