About
Marianna Iaquinto is a leading voice in pediatric robotic-assisted surgery, a field where she has systematically evaluated the evidence base for minimally invasive techniques in children. Her major contribution lies in critically assessing the gap between the rapid adoption of robotic systems in adult surgery and their more cautious, evidence-driven implementation in pediatrics. In her landmark 2023 literature review, which has already garnered 25 citations, she synthesized the available data to determine which pediatric applications are truly supported by evidence, highlighting both the advantages of the da Vinci Surgical System and its current limitations for younger patients. This work has become a foundational reference for surgeons and researchers navigating the balance between technological promise and clinical proof. Dr. Iaquinto’s research is notable for its rigorous, patient-centered approach, guiding the safe and effective integration of robotics into pediatric care. Her scholarship continues to shape best practices, ensuring that innovation in children’s surgery is driven by data rather than hype.
