About

Dr. Marta Gazzaneo is a pioneering pediatric surgeon whose research is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive oncology and congenital anomaly surgery for children. Her work centers on the safety, feasibility, and outcomes of robotics-assisted and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) in pediatric oncology and complex colorectal conditions. In her landmark 2022 study, "Robotics-Assisted Pediatric Oncology Surgery," she provided the first systematic review demonstrating that robotic techniques, proven in adults, are both safe and effective for pediatric tumors—a finding that has garnered 11 citations and is guiding clinical adoption. Her 2021 analysis of VATS in pediatric oncology, with 6 citations, critically evaluated the ongoing debate between thoracoscopy and open surgery, offering essential evidence for neurogenic tumor management. Most recently, her 2025 systematic review on robotic surgery for anorectal malformations (4 citations) charts the current frontiers in treating these challenging congenital defects. Dr. Gazzaneo’s contributions are not merely technical; they are foundational, providing the evidence base that enables surgeons to offer children less invasive, more precise surgical options. Her work is indispensable reading for any researcher or clinician dedicated to advancing pediatric surgical oncology and minimally invasive care.
