About
Lidya-Olgu Durmaz is a pioneering pediatric surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for the smallest and most vulnerable patients—neonates and infants. Her major contributions lie in evaluating the feasibility and safety of novel robotic systems for pediatric surgery, particularly for children under 10 kilograms. In her landmark study, "Evaluation of the Versius Robotic System for Infant Surgery—A Study in Piglets of Less than 10 kg Body Weight," Durmaz demonstrated that the Versius robotic system can be effectively and safely used for abdominal procedures in tiny anatomical spaces, a critical step toward translating this technology to human infants. This work, which has already garnered attention in the surgical community, addresses a significant gap in pediatric robotic surgery, where most systems are designed for adult patients. Durmaz’s research is vital for reducing surgical trauma and improving recovery outcomes in neonates. Her dedication to pushing the boundaries of pediatric surgical innovation marks her as a rising leader in the field, with her work laying the groundwork for safer, more precise operations in the most delicate patients.
