About
Carlos Delgado-Miguel is a pioneering pediatric surgeon whose work sits at the forefront of minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgery in children. His research has systematically advanced the application of robotic surgical techniques to some of the most technically demanding procedures in pediatric surgery, including operations for Hirschsprung's disease, achalasia, gastroesophageal reflux, and colorectal conditions. His most influential contribution, a 2021 study on the robotic Soave pull-through procedure for Hirschsprung's disease in infants under 12 months, has accumulated 35 citations and established important long-term outcome benchmarks for this challenging population. Beyond demonstrating clinical feasibility, Delgado-Miguel has consistently addressed real-world implementation concerns, producing rigorous cost-effectiveness analyses comparing robotic and laparoscopic approaches for redo antireflux surgery and splenectomy — work that directly informs hospital decision-making and resource allocation. Perhaps most remarkably, his recent investigations push the boundaries of robotic surgery into newborns and infants weighing under 10 kg, populations previously considered too small for such techniques. Through systematic reviews and single-centre outcome studies, he is methodically building the evidence base that will define the next generation of pediatric surgical standards, making his work essential reading for trainees and established surgeons alike.
