About
Jacob P. Hoogendam is a leading researcher in gynecologic oncology, specializing in the optimization of sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping and robotic surgery for cervical and endometrial cancers. His work has significantly advanced the precision and efficiency of minimally invasive cancer staging. Notably, his 2013 study demonstrated that preoperative SPECT–CT imaging for SLN mapping dramatically reduces intraoperative retrieval time during robotic surgery, a finding that has garnered 49 citations and influenced clinical protocols. Hoogendam has also pioneered the use of a tethered drop-in γ-probe for radioguided SLN detection, proving its feasibility in early-stage cervical cancer—a technical innovation that enhances surgical flexibility. His research extends to surgical education and quality improvement, including a 2023 study on the learning curve for bilateral SLN mapping and a 2020 analysis of how robotic laparoscopy learning curves affect oncological outcomes. More recently, he investigated symptomatic lymphocele rates after pelvic lymphadenectomy, contributing to postoperative complication management. With over 80 citations across his most-cited works, Hoogendam’s contributions are shaping safer, more effective surgical practices and training curricula in gynecologic oncology.
