About
Roxanne E. Haslam is a pediatric urologist whose work bridges surgical innovation and medical education. Her research centers on improving surgical training and outcomes for children, with a particular focus on robot-assisted laparoscopic procedures. In her landmark study, "Educational Value of YouTube Surgical Videos of Pediatric Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Pyeloplasty: A Qualitative Assessment" (2020, 36 citations), Haslam critically evaluated the reliability of open-access surgical videos—a resource increasingly relied upon by surgeons and residents for preoperative preparation. She demonstrated that while platforms like YouTube are popular, their content often lacks rigorous quality assessment, raising concerns about educational standards. This work has had a tangible impact, informing how surgical educators approach video-based learning and prompting calls for curated, peer-reviewed resources. Haslam’s contributions extend beyond this study; she is recognized for advancing pediatric urology through both clinical excellence and a commitment to evidence-based training. Her research not only highlights the risks of unregulated online content but also provides a framework for improving surgical education in the digital age, making her a key voice in the intersection of technology, training, and patient safety.
