About
Dr. Naziha Khen-Dunlop is a pioneering pediatric surgeon whose work is redefining the boundaries of minimally invasive surgery for children. Her research centers on the safety, efficacy, and expansion of robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) and thoracoscopy in complex pediatric cases. A major contribution is her prospective, observational study on adverse events within a multidisciplinary pediatric robotic program, which provided crucial, real-world morbidity data—a field previously lacking in evidence. Her work on robotic lobectomy for severe bronchiectasis in children demonstrated that this advanced technology can be a worthwhile and safe alternative to traditional open surgery, even in challenging pathologies. With her most-cited paper garnering 18 citations and a recent landmark study analyzing the first 1,000 robotic thoracic procedures at a high-volume center, Dr. Khen-Dunlop is generating the large-scale data needed to validate these techniques. Her expertise also extends to thoracoscopic resection of complex mediastinal masses, such as esophageal duplications causing tracheobronchomalacia. Through rigorous prospective studies and a focus on procedural safety, she is a leading voice in establishing evidence-based standards for the next generation of pediatric robotic surgery.
