About

Dr. Ueli Moehrlen is a pioneering pediatric surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of minimally invasive surgery, regenerative medicine, and advanced robotics. His major contributions span three transformative areas: fetal surgery, tissue engineering, and magnetic navigation. Notably, he has developed magnetically guided robotic systems for prenatal interventions, including a novel approach to treat spina bifida (24 citations) and twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (20 citations), moving beyond traditional rigid fetoscopes. In regenerative medicine, Dr. Moehrlen co-authored groundbreaking work on bioprinting large, vascularized skin substitutes using a robotic platform (41 citations), a technology now in clinical trials for severe burns. His earlier work established a minimal invasive surgical approach for ureteropelvic junction obstruction in children (46 citations), demonstrating a long-standing commitment to reducing surgical trauma. Most recently, his team has advanced autonomous magnetic navigation in endoscopic image mosaics (10 citations), enabling real-time surgical mapping. With a career defined by translating cutting-edge engineering into tangible clinical solutions, Dr. Moehrlen is reshaping the future of pediatric and fetal surgery.
