About

Dr. E. Eixarch is a leading researcher at the intersection of fetal medicine and surgical robotics, with a primary focus on improving outcomes for Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS). Her work centers on developing advanced robotic assistance and computer vision systems for Fetoscopic Laser Photo-coagulation (FLP) surgery, a delicate procedure for treating this condition. Dr. Eixarch’s major contribution lies in creating accurate, robust tracking algorithms that assist surgeons in critical tasks such as anastomosis localization and coagulation. Her 2019 paper on vision-based robot assistance, which has garnered 7 citations, demonstrates a significant step toward tele-operated robotic platforms that enhance navigation and re-location during surgery. Further work, including her 2023 study on robotic-assisted improvements, shows a sustained commitment to refining these tools. By integrating real-time tracking systems to record fetoscope trajectories, she has provided quantitative evidence that robotic assistance can improve surgical precision. Dr. Eixarch’s research is pivotal in translating robotic technology from the lab to the operating room, promising safer, more effective interventions for fragile fetal patients.
