About
Mireille Segesser is a pioneering researcher in the field of maxillofacial surgery, with a primary focus on advanced laser technologies and robotic-assisted surgical techniques. Her major contributions center on the development and validation of the cold ablation and robot-guided Er:YAG laser osteotome (CARLO®), a groundbreaking tool that enables precise, minimally invasive bone resection in complex craniofacial procedures. Her most cited work, a 2018 study on human cadavers, demonstrated the applicability and effectiveness of CARLO® for partial mandibular resection, fibula free flap reconstruction, and midfacial osteotomies, accumulating 45 citations and establishing a new standard for surgical precision. This research has significant implications for reducing thermal damage, improving patient outcomes, and expanding the possibilities of reconstructive surgery. Segesser’s work bridges engineering and clinical practice, offering a transformative approach to osteotomy that minimizes trauma and enhances recovery. Her achievements underscore her role as a leader in surgical innovation, with her findings informing both current surgical protocols and future robotic systems. For students and researchers, Segesser’s contributions exemplify how interdisciplinary collaboration can revolutionize traditional surgical methods, making her a key figure in the evolution of modern maxillofacial surgery.
