About

Florian Schilcher is a pioneering surgeon at the forefront of robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery, with a specialized focus on pediatric urology and gastrointestinal procedures. His most impactful work centers on the clinical application and safety evaluation of the Senhance® Robotic System, a next-generation platform offering haptic feedback and eye-tracking camera control. Dr. Schilcher’s landmark contribution includes performing the first-ever pediatric pyeloplasty using the Senhance® system on a 1.5-year-old girl, a case report that has garnered 12 citations and established a new frontier in pediatric robotic surgery. He has also led the first multicenter report on inguinal hernia TAPP repair using this platform through the TRUST registry, demonstrating its feasibility in general surgery. With over 530 patients studied, his research on safety in Senhance™ robotic gastrointestinal surgery provides critical evidence on system malfunctions and procedural risks. Additionally, his work on surgeon stress during robotic operations highlights the human factors in adopting new technologies. Through these contributions—totaling over 35 citations—Dr. Schilcher is shaping the evidence base for safer, more accessible robotic surgery in both children and adults.
