About
Marzia Vastano is a pediatric surgeon at the forefront of integrating advanced technology into minimally invasive surgery for children. Her research focuses on expanding the boundaries of laparoscopic and robotic techniques to improve outcomes for young patients. A major contribution is her pioneering work on the ArtiSential® articulated wrist-like instruments, demonstrating their feasibility and safety in pediatric procedures through case reports and a comprehensive literature review (28 citations). This work offers a critical alternative when full robotic systems are unavailable. Dr. Vastano has also championed the use of intraoperative ultrasound during minimally invasive surgery, providing detailed anatomical guidance that enhances precision and safety in complex pediatric cases (10 citations). Her efforts are helping to bridge the gap between adult surgical innovations and the unique needs of pediatric populations, making her a notable voice in the advancement of child-specific surgical care.
