About

Driven by a commitment to advancing minimally invasive techniques in paediatric surgery, V. Vacquerie has established a focused and impactful research niche in paediatric thoracic robotic surgery. Their most-cited work, "Assessment of paediatric thoracic robotic surgery" (2014), has garnered 50 citations, serving as a foundational reference for a field with limited published data. In this seminal paper, Vacquerie bravely shared their preliminary experience with robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS), addressing a critical gap in the literature and providing essential feasibility data for a vulnerable patient population. By systematically documenting early outcomes and procedural nuances, Vacquerie’s contribution has directly informed clinical decision-making and encouraged further adoption of robotic platforms in paediatric settings. This work not only highlights their technical expertise but also underscores a dedication to rigorous, evidence-based innovation in a niche where safety and precision are paramount. Vacquerie’s research continues to shape the trajectory of paediatric surgical care, offering a compelling model for translating adult robotic techniques into the challenging anatomical and physiological landscape of children.
