About

Jasper Stijns is a colorectal surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques and standardizing perioperative care in pelvic floor disorders. His major contributions center on the safe implementation of robotic colorectal surgery, particularly through his work on robotic right colectomy with intracorporeal anastomosis, a technically demanding procedure that improves patient outcomes. His 2022 paper on this topic has garnered 11 citations, reflecting its practical impact on surgical practice. Stijns also leads multicenter quality improvement initiatives, as demonstrated by his 2025 study on ventral mesh rectopexy (VMR), which systematically examines variations in preoperative assessment, surgical indications, and perioperative management across Flemish hospitals. This observational, cross-sectional work aims to reduce unwarranted clinical variation and establish evidence-based standards for VMR care. By combining technical innovation with rigorous process improvement, Stijns is shaping the future of colorectal surgery—making complex procedures safer and more reproducible while ensuring that surgical care for conditions like rectal prolapse is delivered consistently and effectively. His research bridges the gap between surgical technique and healthcare delivery, offering valuable insights for both practicing surgeons and trainees.
