About

Sarah Garnier is a pioneering figure in pediatric minimally invasive surgery and telemedicine, with a career dedicated to expanding access to specialized care through technology. Her seminal work, "Realtime Tele-Operated Abdominal and Fetal Echography in 4 Medical Centres," demonstrated the feasibility of using a robotic arm (ESTELE) and ISDN or satellite links to perform remote ultrasound exams from a single expert center, a breakthrough that has garnered 22 citations and laid the groundwork for tele-echography in underserved areas. More recently, Garnier led the first national multicenter study on robot-assisted surgery in pediatric patients, analyzing outcomes from 1,401 cases across France. This 2025 study, with 7 citations, is a landmark contribution that provides critical evidence for establishing robotic programs in pediatric surgery, showing that RAS is becoming the standard for several indications. Her work in evidence-based medicine, particularly in minimally invasive pediatric urology, further underscores her commitment to rigorous, data-driven practice. Garnier’s research bridges engineering and clinical care, making her a key voice in the future of pediatric surgical innovation.
