About

Dr. Clelia Zanaboni is a pioneering pediatric surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgery for children, with a particular emphasis on robotic-assisted techniques. Her work has been instrumental in demonstrating the safety and efficacy of the Da Vinci robotic system in pediatric populations, a field where adoption has historically lagged behind adult surgery. Her most cited paper, "Da Vinci Robotic Surgery in a Pediatric Hospital" (2017, 42 citations), provides a foundational evaluation of how robotic technology impacts pediatric surgical practice, establishing benchmarks for its use in complex procedures. Dr. Zanaboni has also made significant contributions to perioperative care, notably in her 2019 study on pain management and anesthesiological considerations for pediatric patients undergoing robotic versus laparoscopic-thoracoscopic surgery (21 citations). Her comparative research on total oesophago-gastric dissociation in neurologically impaired children (2019, 7 citations) further highlights her expertise in adapting advanced robotic techniques for the most vulnerable patients. Through her work, Dr. Zanaboni has helped pave the way for broader adoption of robotic surgery in children's hospitals, improving surgical precision and recovery outcomes for young patients worldwide.
