About

Dr. Irene Paraboschi is a pioneering pediatric surgeon whose research is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive surgery for children, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted techniques and urological reconstruction. Her work centers on demonstrating the safety, efficacy, and learning curves associated with robotic surgery in vulnerable pediatric populations. Notably, her systematic review on the "Learning curve for robotic surgery in children" (33 citations) has become a foundational reference for training programs, while her multi-institutional European study comparing robotic-assisted versus open ureteral reimplantation for high-grade vesicoureteral reflux (30 citations) provides critical evidence supporting the adoption of robotic approaches. Dr. Paraboschi also pushes the boundaries of innovation, exploring the integration of 3D modeling and augmented reality in pediatric cancer surgery (25 citations), and has performed pioneering work in robotic-assisted total esophagogastric dissociation for children with severe neurodisability (11 citations). Her contributions are not only advancing surgical precision but also establishing the benchmarks for training the next generation of pediatric surgeons, making her a leading voice in the evolution of pediatric robotic surgery.
