About
Dr. Qais AbuHasan is a rising surgical researcher whose work centers on the objective assessment of surgical skill, particularly within the rapidly evolving field of robotic bariatric surgery. His primary research focus lies in identifying and validating quantifiable performance metrics—known as objective performance indicators (OPIs)—that can reliably distinguish between expert and novice surgeons. In his landmark cross-sectional study, "Objective performance indicators during robotic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass distinguish experienced from trainee surgeons," Dr. AbuHasan demonstrated that specific robotic system data, such as instrument path length and wrist articulation, can effectively stratify surgeons by experience level. This work has critical implications for surgical training and credentialing, offering a data-driven pathway to enhance patient safety and standardize skill acquisition. While his most-cited paper is recent, its foundational nature signals a growing impact in the field of surgical education and quality assurance. Dr. AbuHasan’s contributions are paving the way for a future where surgical proficiency is measured not by years of experience alone, but by precise, actionable data.
