About

Peter C. Minneci is a leading pediatric surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on improving surgical outcomes for children through evidence-based practice and innovative care models. His major contributions center on evaluating the utilization, safety, and cost-effectiveness of advanced surgical technologies, particularly robotic surgery in pediatric populations. His highly cited 2015 study on robotic surgery in children (93 citations) critically assessed its real-world adoption and economic impact, providing essential data that guides clinical decision-making and healthcare policy. Beyond this, Minneci has driven significant advances in comparative effectiveness research, examining surgical approaches for conditions like appendicitis and pectus excavatum, and championing patient-centered outcomes. His work has been instrumental in demonstrating that many common pediatric surgeries can be performed safely with less invasive techniques, reducing hospital stays and healthcare costs. With over 200 peer-reviewed publications and numerous grants from the National Institutes of Health, his research has shaped national guidelines and influenced surgical practice worldwide. Minneci’s dedication to rigorous, data-driven care continues to enhance the quality and safety of surgery for children.
