About

Dr. Michael Devine is a leading researcher in the rapidly evolving field of robotic surgery, with a particular focus on its clinical adoption, governance, and public perception. His work critically examines how robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) is integrated into healthcare systems, from the operating room to regulatory frameworks. Dr. Devine’s major contributions include a landmark scoping review on the general public’s perception of robotic surgery, which has garnered 9 citations and highlights key factors influencing patient trust and acceptance. He has also advanced the understanding of technical skill transferability across different robotic platforms, a crucial issue as new consoles enter the market, and has systematically analyzed governance structures to ensure safe and effective implementation. With a growing body of work that includes a recent systematic review on RAS governance and an analysis of surgical uptake trends, Dr. Devine’s research is shaping how surgeons, hospitals, and policymakers approach the expansion of robotic technologies. His work is essential reading for anyone interested in the intersection of surgical innovation, patient safety, and healthcare policy.
