About

Sami Gökhan Kılıç is a pioneering researcher in the intersection of surgical education and emerging technologies, with a primary focus on robotic surgery and simulation-based training in gynecology. His work has significantly advanced our understanding of how non-medical factors, such as video game experience, influence the acquisition of complex surgical skills. In his most cited study (12 citations), Kılıç demonstrated that current video game playing positively impacts initial robotic simulation skill acquisition among medical students, a finding that has important implications for surgical training curricula and candidate selection. His 2013 work on practical examples of robotic surgery in gynecology (8 citations) provides valuable clinical insights into the application of robotic platforms for minimally invasive procedures. Kılıç’s research bridges the gap between cognitive psychology and surgical education, offering evidence-based approaches to optimize training for the next generation of robotic surgeons. His contributions are particularly relevant as robotic surgery becomes increasingly prevalent, highlighting the need for innovative training methods that leverage both technological and experiential factors.
