About
Barbara Seeliger is a surgical researcher whose work sits at the dynamic intersection of robotic surgery, minimally invasive techniques, and emerging technologies for surgical training and guidance. Her research spans single-port robotic platforms, flexible endoscopy robotics, gynaecological surgery, and the integration of augmented reality, ultrasound guidance, and artificial intelligence into operative workflows. Among her most influential contributions is her preclinical evaluation of the SPORT single-port robotic system (74 citations), which helped establish the feasibility of next-generation minimally invasive platforms. Her systematic review on ultrasound-guided robotic procedures (45 citations) has become a key reference for surgeons navigating intraoperative visualization challenges, while her work on visual haptic feedback for robotic suturing training (28 citations) addresses a critical gap left by the absence of force feedback in current systems. Seeliger has also made notable contributions to gynaecological robotics, including sentinel node identification using augmented reality and endometriosis surgery with novel platforms. Collectively, her publications — spanning feasibility studies, systematic reviews, and forward-looking analyses of telesurgery and AI — reflect a researcher shaping both the present practice and future direction of robotic-assisted surgery.
