About
Dr. Anna Saltner is a pioneering pediatric surgeon whose research focuses on the feasibility and safety of robotic surgery in the smallest and most vulnerable patients. Her major contribution lies in pushing the boundaries of minimally invasive techniques, specifically evaluating the Versius® robotic system for use in infants and neonates. In her landmark study, "Evaluation of the Versius Robotic System for Infant Surgery—A Study in Piglets of Less than 10 kg Body Weight" (2023), Dr. Saltner demonstrated that this advanced robotic platform is not only feasible but also safe for performing complex abdominal procedures in subjects under 10 kg. This work, which has already garnered 3 citations, is foundational for translating robotic surgery into the neonatal intensive care unit, offering the potential for reduced trauma and faster recovery for the tiniest patients. Dr. Saltner’s dedication to rigorous preclinical testing is paving the way for a new era of pediatric surgical care, making her a leading voice in the advancement of robotic-assisted interventions for infants.
