About
Juan I. Camps is a pioneering pediatric surgeon whose career has been defined by a singular mission: advancing robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery in children. Over more than a decade of clinical research, Camps has systematically expanded the boundaries of what robotic surgery can achieve in pediatric populations, including in some of the most technically demanding cases involving newborns and infants. His landmark work on the robotic Soave pull-through procedure for Hirschsprung's disease — his most cited contribution with 35 citations — demonstrated strong long-term outcomes in children under 12 months, helping to validate robotic approaches for complex colorectal conditions in very young patients. His 2011 paper documenting his early institutional experience with pediatric robotics laid foundational groundwork for the field, accumulating 32 citations and establishing him as an early adopter and thought leader. Camps has also made meaningful contributions in splenectomy, achalasia, and antireflux surgery, consistently evaluating robotic techniques against laparoscopic standards through rigorous cost-effectiveness analyses. His commitment to education is evident through his involvement in multinational training workshops. Collectively, his body of work reflects a career dedicated to improving surgical precision, safety, and outcomes for children worldwide.
