About

Aude Vanlander is a leading figure in the advancement of robotic hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery. Her research centers on two critical areas: demonstrating the long-term oncologic safety of robotic approaches for liver malignancies and rigorously evaluating the technical advantages of robotic platforms over traditional laparoscopy. Her landmark multicenter studies, including a 94-citation analysis of robotic liver resections for primary hepatobiliary cancers and an 86-citation propensity-matched study for colorectal metastases, provide compelling evidence that robotic surgery achieves comparable or superior oncologic outcomes to laparoscopic techniques. Beyond oncologic outcomes, Vanlander has made pivotal contributions to surgical education and ergonomics. She co-authored the first multispecialty consensus on robotic training (OCERT, 62 citations) and led randomized trials proving that 3D-vision significantly enhances performance during complex pancreatic and biliary anastomoses. Through her methodical, evidence-based approach, Vanlander is not only validating robotic surgery’s role in treating aggressive cancers but also establishing the scientific foundation for how surgeons should be trained and how technology can optimize operative precision.
