About
Marit Kayser is a pioneering researcher in pediatric robotic surgery, with a focused expertise in evaluating novel surgical platforms for use in small anatomical cavities—particularly in infants and children. Her major contributions center on the preclinical assessment of the Versius Robotic Surgical System, a recently approved platform for adult general surgery. Kayser’s landmark 2022 study, which has garnered 26 citations, established the feasibility and safety of the Versius system in inanimate models of small cavities, laying critical groundwork for pediatric applications. Building on this, her 2023 study in piglets weighing less than 10 kg demonstrated the system’s performance and safety in living, small-bodied subjects—a vital step toward translating robotic surgery to the youngest patients. Though still early in her career, Kayser’s work addresses a pressing gap in minimally invasive surgery for children, where instrument size and workspace constraints pose unique challenges. Her research not only advances the technical validation of next-generation robotic platforms but also underscores her commitment to expanding surgical options for vulnerable populations, making her a rising voice in pediatric surgical innovation.
