About

Boris Jansen-Winkeln is a pioneering surgeon at the forefront of precision oncologic visceral surgery, with a primary focus on integrating advanced intraoperative imaging technologies into gastrointestinal procedures. His major contributions center on the clinical application of hyperspectral imaging (HSI) and fluorescence imaging to enhance surgical decision-making, particularly in esophageal and rectal resections. In his landmark 2024 pilot study on intraoperative laparoscopic HSI during esophagectomy, he demonstrated how the TIVITA® Mini system can provide real-time, non-invasive assessment of esophagogastric perfusion at anastomotic sites—a critical factor in preventing postoperative complications. This work, which has already garnered 9 citations, showcases his commitment to translating cutting-edge imaging tools into tangible surgical benefits. Jansen-Winkeln has also explored the synergy of HSI with fluorescence imaging and pelvic intraoperative neuromonitoring to achieve "precision surgery" in rectal resections, as highlighted in his 2021 video publication. His research, which includes contributions on the role of minimally invasive gastrectomy, consistently emphasizes data-driven, cognitive approaches that leverage robotics and artificial intelligence to improve patient outcomes. Through these efforts, Jansen-Winkeln is helping to define a new era of precision oncology where real-time tissue characterization guides safer, more effective surgery.
