About
Sarah Vieten is a pioneering pediatric surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for the smallest and most vulnerable patients—infants and children under 10 kg. Her major contribution lies in demonstrating the feasibility and safety of robotic surgery using ultra-fine 3 mm instruments, a critical innovation for neonatal and pediatric populations where traditional tools are often too large. Her landmark study, "Robotic infant surgery with 3 mm instruments: a study in piglets of less than 10 kg body weight" (2021), has garnered 16 citations and serves as foundational evidence for translating this technology into clinical practice. By addressing the lack of data on robotic systems in tiny patients, Vieten’s work directly impacts surgical precision, recovery times, and outcomes for children undergoing abdominal and thoracic procedures. Her research bridges a critical gap in pediatric surgery, offering hope for less invasive options in a field where every millimeter matters. Vieten’s dedication to innovation and safety positions her as a key figure in the evolution of robotic pediatric surgery.
