About
Jacqueline van den Bos is a leading surgical researcher whose work focuses on improving outcomes in colorectal surgery through advanced imaging and minimally invasive techniques. Her primary research areas include near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) image-guidance and the prevention of anastomotic leakage (AL), a serious complication following colorectal cancer surgery. In her highly cited 2019 pilot study (37 citations), van den Bos demonstrated how NIRF imaging using indocyanine green (ICG) can assess tissue perfusion during anastomotic procedures, and critically, she established a novel link between fluorescence intensity and postoperative serum markers of AL. This work provides a foundation for real-time, intraoperative risk assessment, potentially reducing AL rates. Additionally, van den Bos has contributed to the evolution of single-port laparoscopy, investigating whether robotic assistance can overcome the technical challenges of triangulation and instrument clashing in this nearly scarless approach. Her research bridges the gap between innovative technology and practical surgical application, offering tangible pathways to enhance patient safety and surgical precision.
