About
Dr. Nele Claes is a pioneering gynecologic oncologist whose research is redefining the role of robotic surgery in the management of complex female cancers. Her work focuses on expanding the boundaries of minimally invasive techniques for ovarian, cervical, and rare vaginal malignancies. Dr. Claes has made significant contributions to surgical staging and treatment, particularly through her systematic review on robotic-assisted pelvic exenteration for recurrent cervical cancer, which offers novel insights into compartment-based imaging to reduce morbidity. She has also advanced the reproducibility of sentinel lymph node mapping in locally advanced cervical cancer, addressing critical discrepancies in international guidelines. Her case series and technical reports, including a 10-step robotic-vaginal approach for total vaginectomy in primary vaginal melanoma, demonstrate her commitment to standardizing complex procedures. With her most cited papers accumulating over 18 citations in just a few years, Dr. Claes is establishing herself as a key voice in the evidence-based adoption of robotics for ultra-radical pelvic surgery, directly improving outcomes for patients with advanced and recurrent disease.
