About
Laura Privitera is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of pediatric oncology and advanced surgical technology, with a focus on transforming how childhood cancers are treated. Her work centers on integrating robotic surgery, three-dimensional modeling, and fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) to enhance precision and outcomes in pediatric cancer surgery. In her highly cited 2021 paper, "Above and Beyond Robotic Surgery and 3D Modelling in Paediatric Cancer Surgery" (25 citations), she highlights how robotic systems and augmented reality can revolutionize surgical practices that have remained largely unchanged despite rising survival rates. Her 2024 technical review, "State of the art medical devices for fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS)" (21 citations), addresses the critical need for standardization and surgeon education in optical imaging technologies, providing a comprehensive guide to emerging devices. Privitera’s contributions are vital for bridging the gap between cutting-edge engineering and clinical application, offering young surgeons and researchers a roadmap to safer, more effective cancer surgeries. Her work underscores a commitment to translating innovation into tangible improvements for the most vulnerable patients.
