About

Carmen Capito is a pioneering pediatric surgeon whose research has significantly advanced the field of robotic-assisted surgery in children, with a particular focus on pediatric oncology. Based in France, her work has helped establish evidence-based standards for minimally invasive robotic techniques in some of the most vulnerable and complex patient populations. Capito's most influential contribution — a nationwide study on robotic surgery across the first 100 pediatric tumors (2021, 52 citations) — demonstrated both the feasibility and safety of robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) in childhood cancers, offering critical lessons that have shaped practice internationally. Her subsequent prospective observational study on morbidity outcomes provided rigorous, real-world safety data that the field had long lacked. She has also expanded robotic indications into specialized areas such as adrenal tumor resection in children, a domain previously considered too high-risk for minimally invasive approaches. Her leadership in a landmark French multicenter study involving 1,401 pediatric patients further underscores her national influence. Beyond clinical outcomes, Capito has examined the systemic benefits of robotic surgery, including reduced hospital stays. Collectively, her work — accumulating nearly 100 citations — is actively redefining what is possible in pediatric minimally invasive surgery.
