About
Cas de Jongh is a leading surgical researcher advancing the field of minimally invasive oncologic surgery, with a focus on robotic-assisted procedures for upper gastrointestinal cancers. His work centers on the implementation, standardization, and global outcomes of robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) and gastrectomy (RAMIG). As a key contributor to the Upper GI International Robotic Association (UGIRA) Esophageal Registry, de Jongh co-authored the landmark 2024 study assessing the current state of RAMIE worldwide (24 citations), providing critical insights into surgical techniques and areas for improvement. He also led the 2023 study on RAMIG for gastric cancer (15 citations), offering the first comprehensive global snapshot of perioperative outcomes and technical variations. More recently, his 2025 work details the successful implementation of RAMIG at a European tertiary referral center, demonstrating feasibility and safety in a high-volume setting. Through these contributions, de Jongh is helping to define best practices and benchmarks for robotic upper GI surgery, with his registry-based research shaping international standards and improving patient outcomes.
