About
Tammy D. Meehan is a pediatric surgeon whose research has focused on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for children, particularly in the realm of robotic-assisted procedures. Her most cited work, a 2007 study on robotic fundoplication in children, provided a critical early assessment of this technology’s feasibility and safety in a pediatric population. With 57 citations, this paper not only documented the outcomes of her institution’s first 50 patients but also addressed the important challenge of resident teaching during robotic surgeries, offering a model for integrating training into clinical practice. Meehan’s contributions have helped establish robotic surgery as a viable option for complex pediatric cases, improving precision and recovery times for young patients. Her work stands as a foundational reference for surgeons exploring robotic applications in children, highlighting her role in shaping modern pediatric surgical education and practice.
