About

Caroline Jamaer is a pediatric surgeon whose work is reshaping the surgical management of childhood cancers, particularly Wilms’ tumor. Her most-cited study, "Robot-assisted radical nephrectomy for Wilms’ tumor in children" (2023), with 6 citations, marks a significant step forward in minimally invasive pediatric oncology. This paper demonstrates the feasibility and safety of robotic surgery for a traditionally complex procedure, offering young patients reduced recovery times and less postoperative pain. Beyond this landmark work, Jamaer’s research focuses on refining surgical techniques for pediatric renal tumors, exploring how robotic platforms can improve precision while maintaining oncologic outcomes. Her contributions are especially impactful given the rarity of Wilms’ tumor—each successful case adds critical data to a small but growing evidence base. By bridging pediatric surgery and advanced robotics, she is helping to define a new standard of care for children with abdominal cancers. Her work not only advances surgical practice but also inspires a generation of pediatric surgeons to embrace innovation in the fight against childhood malignancies.
