About

Dr. Benedetta Zen is a pioneering pediatric surgeon whose work is transforming surgical precision through advanced fluorescence imaging. Her primary research focus centers on the application of Indocyanine Green (ICG) fluorescence technology in pediatric surgery, a field she has helped to advance significantly. Her landmark comprehensive review, "Advancing Pediatric Surgery with Indocyanine Green (ICG) Fluorescence Imaging," published in 2025, has already garnered 6 citations, establishing her as a leading voice in this niche. Dr. Zen’s major contribution lies in demonstrating how ICG imaging enhances intraoperative visualization of critical anatomical structures—such as bile ducts, lymphatics, and blood vessels—thereby improving safety and outcomes in delicate pediatric procedures. Her work has illuminated the potential for real-time, dye-guided surgery to reduce complications and shorten recovery times in children. By synthesizing evidence across multiple specialties, she has provided a foundational framework that is guiding the next generation of pediatric surgeons. Dr. Zen’s research is not only technically innovative but also deeply impactful, promising a future where pediatric surgeries are safer, more precise, and less invasive.
