About

C.B.M. Kruijdenberg is a leading figure in gynecologic oncology, with a focused expertise in minimally invasive surgical techniques for the treatment of early-stage cervical cancer. Her major contribution lies in critically evaluating and comparing emerging robotic-assisted approaches against established total laparoscopic methods. Her seminal 2011 review, "Robot-assisted versus total laparoscopic radical hysterectomy in early cervical cancer, a review," has garnered over 100 citations, serving as a foundational reference for surgeons and researchers navigating the adoption of robotic technology. This work systematically assessed perioperative outcomes, oncologic safety, and surgical feasibility, helping to define the evidence base for robotic surgery in this context. Beyond this highly cited piece, Kruijdenberg’s research has advanced understanding of surgical innovation, patient outcomes, and the integration of new technologies into clinical practice. Her analyses have been instrumental in shaping guidelines and training protocols, making her a respected voice in the ongoing evolution of gynecologic cancer care.
