About
Dr. Lina Johanna Reese is a pioneering pediatric surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive robotic surgery for the smallest and most vulnerable patients—neonates and infants. Her primary research focus is the feasibility and safety of novel robotic platforms in confined pediatric anatomical spaces, a critical frontier in surgical innovation. Dr. Reese’s landmark study, “Evaluation of the Versius Robotic System for Infant Surgery—A Study in Piglets of Less than 10 kg Body Weight,” demonstrated for the first time that the Versius system could be safely and effectively deployed for abdominal procedures in subjects under 10 kg. This work, which has already garnered early citations, provides foundational evidence for translating adult-sized robotic technology into pediatric practice. By systematically testing performance in tiny, inanimate cavities, Dr. Reese has laid crucial groundwork for reducing surgical trauma in infants. Her contributions are shaping the future of neonatal surgery, offering hope for less invasive interventions in a field where precision and size constraints are paramount. Dr. Reese’s research stands at the intersection of engineering and compassionate care, marking her as a rising leader in pediatric robotic surgery.
