About

Barbara Razore is a pediatric surgeon whose research has made significant contributions to the advancement of minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgery in children. Her work focuses primarily on the application of robotic surgical technologies — particularly the Da Vinci® Si HD system — within pediatric hospital settings, addressing the unique anatomical and technical challenges that distinguish pediatric from adult procedures. Razore's most influential publication, "Da Vinci Robotic Surgery in a Pediatric Hospital" (2017, 42 citations), helped establish an evidence base for integrating robotic surgery into public pediatric institutions, a field where adoption has historically lagged behind adult medicine. Her subsequent work on robot-assisted Soave procedures for older children with Hirschsprung disease (26 citations) demonstrated the feasibility of robotic techniques for complex congenital conditions previously considered difficult to manage minimally invasively. She has also explored robotic approaches to esophago-gastric dissociation in neurologically impaired children, highlighting patient populations that stand to benefit most from reduced surgical trauma. Her 2025 multicenter analysis reflects a continued commitment to rigorous, collaborative outcome assessment. Across her body of work, Razore has helped shape clinical protocols and broaden the surgical possibilities available to pediatric patients worldwide.
