About

Michelle Shroyer is a pediatric surgeon whose research focuses on the integration of robotic-assisted surgical techniques into pediatric surgery training and practice. Her most-cited work, a 2016 survey on robot-assisted surgical techniques in U.S. pediatric surgery fellowships, highlights a critical gap in standardized training guidelines. With 8 citations, this study assesses the prevalence of robotic procedures and the extent of robotic surgery education in fellowship programs, revealing that while robotic technology has transformed adult surgical specialties, its adoption in pediatric surgery remains inconsistent and lacks formal curricula. Shroyer’s contributions underscore the need for structured training pathways to ensure safe and effective use of robotics in children’s surgery. Her work is notable for its practical implications, guiding educators and policymakers in developing competency-based training models. By documenting current practices and identifying deficiencies, Shroyer has laid the groundwork for future innovations in pediatric surgical education, making her a key voice in advancing robotic surgery for younger patients.
