About

Jasmina Cehajic‐Kapetanovic is a pioneering ophthalmic surgeon and researcher at the forefront of robotic-assisted vitreoretinal surgery. Her work centers on overcoming the physiological limits of human dexterity to enable ultra-precise interventions in the eye. She led the landmark first-in-human study of robot-assisted subretinal drug delivery under local anesthesia (67 citations), demonstrating that robotic systems can safely perform delicate procedures previously impossible with manual techniques. Her systematic review on the effectiveness, safety, and practicality of robot-assisted eye surgery (14 citations) provides a comprehensive evaluation of robotic systems in clinical settings. She has also authored key work on robotising vitreoretinal surgeries (21 citations), highlighting how robotic assistance expands the surgical repertoire beyond human capabilities. Cehajic‐Kapetanovic’s contributions are transforming ophthalmic surgery, offering new hope for treating retinal diseases through enhanced precision and minimally invasive approaches. Her research bridges engineering and medicine, establishing a new paradigm for surgical innovation that directly impacts patient outcomes.
