About
Susanna W.L. de Geus is a surgical oncologist and researcher whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive approaches to complex pancreatic surgeries, particularly for cancer patients. Her key research areas include pancreatic cancer outcomes, surgical innovation, and health services research. De Geus is best known for her landmark study, "Trends in access to minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic cancers" (2023, 8 citations), which critically examined disparities in the adoption of laparoscopic and robotic techniques for Whipple procedures. This work highlighted how patient demographics, hospital volume, and geographic factors influence access to these less invasive options, providing essential data for improving equitable surgical care. Her contributions have informed clinical guidelines and sparked discussions on centralizing high-risk pancreatic surgery. De Geus’s research, though early in its citation impact, is already shaping how surgeons and policymakers evaluate the real-world implementation of advanced technologies. Her dedication to bridging surgical innovation with population-level outcomes marks her as a rising voice in pancreatic oncology and surgical quality improvement.
