About
Dr. Saira Banu Omar Khan is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotic surgery, patient safety, and human factors engineering. Her work focuses on improving outcomes in urologic oncology, particularly through the study of ureteroenteric strictures following robot-assisted radical cystectomy. Her landmark 2017 paper, cited 85 times, established the natural history, predictors, and optimal management of this common complication, providing critical evidence to guide surgical decision-making. Dr. Khan’s research also breaks new ground in understanding surgical team dynamics. Her 2017 study on workload assessment during robot-assisted surgery (38 citations) and her 2019 work linking surgeon non-technical skills to teamwork outcomes demonstrate her commitment to enhancing operating room safety and efficiency. By quantifying how communication, leadership, and situational awareness affect clinical results, she has helped shape a more holistic approach to surgical quality. Dr. Khan’s contributions are vital for trainees and practicing surgeons alike, offering evidence-based strategies to reduce complications and improve team performance in the rapidly evolving field of robotic surgery.
