About
Arjen van der Veen is a leading surgical researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive techniques in esophageal cancer surgery, with a particular focus on improving anastomotic outcomes. His major contribution lies in the clinical application of indocyanine green fluorescence angiography (ICG-FA) to assess gastric conduit perfusion in real time during robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy. His landmark prospective study, published in 2022, demonstrated how ICG-FA can guide intraoperative decision-making to reduce the risk of anastomotic leakage—a critical complication in esophagectomy. With 19 citations, this work has quickly become a reference point for surgeons seeking to integrate fluorescence imaging into robotic esophageal procedures. Van der Veen’s research bridges the gap between advanced imaging technology and tangible patient outcomes, offering a practical tool that enhances surgical precision. His ongoing efforts continue to shape the evolution of robotic esophageal surgery, making him a key figure in the push toward safer, more reliable minimally invasive approaches for esophageal cancer patients.
