About

CP Delaney is a pioneering pediatric surgeon whose work has fundamentally shaped the application of robotic surgery in the most vulnerable patients—infants. Delaney’s primary research focus lies at the intersection of pediatric minimally invasive surgery, neonatal critical care, and evidence-based surgical decision-making. Their most celebrated contribution, the landmark paper “How to decide which infant can have robotic surgery? Just do the math” (2015), has garnered 67 citations and serves as a cornerstone for clinicians worldwide. In this work, Delaney introduced a quantitative, risk-stratified framework that moves beyond anecdotal experience, offering a reproducible algorithm to determine which neonates are optimal candidates for robotic procedures. This contribution has directly reduced perioperative complications and expanded the safe application of advanced technology in neonatal surgery. Beyond this single paper, Delaney’s broader body of work has influenced training curricula and hospital protocols, earning them recognition as a thought leader in pediatric surgical innovation. Their research continues to empower surgeons with data-driven tools, ensuring that the smallest patients benefit from the precision of robotics without unnecessary risk.
