About
Ines Gockel is a leading figure in esophageal and gastrointestinal surgery, whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of minimally invasive and precision surgery. Her research centers on optimizing surgical techniques for esophageal cancer and achalasia, with a particular focus on comparing robotic-assisted, minimally invasive, and hybrid esophagectomy approaches. Her landmark 2021 study, with 25 citations, demonstrated that robot-assisted and conventional minimally invasive esophagectomy yield superior postoperative outcomes compared to hybrid or open procedures. Gockel's pioneering contributions also include the application of intraoperative hyperspectral imaging (HSI) to assess esophagogastric perfusion during esophagectomy, a non-invasive technique that promises to reduce anastomotic complications. Her work on robotic Heller myotomy for achalasia has established it as a safe and effective procedure with lower perforation rates. With over 100 cumulative citations from her top papers, Gockel has also contributed to national guidelines, including the updated German S3 guideline for esophageal carcinoma. Her innovative integration of robotics, imaging, and neuromonitoring positions her as a key architect of precision surgery in visceral oncology.
