About
E.J.M. Nieveen van Dijkum is a leading surgical oncologist whose research focuses on minimally invasive and robotic approaches for neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) and pancreatic tumors. Her major contributions center on advancing parenchyma-sparing techniques to reduce surgical morbidity while maintaining oncologic outcomes. Notably, her international survey on minimally invasive surgery for small bowel neuroendocrine neoplasms (8 citations) revealed critical insights into the slow adoption of these techniques, highlighting barriers and guiding future implementation strategies. She also pioneered robotic enucleation of intra-pancreatic insulinomas (4 citations), demonstrating that robotic surgery can safely replace open procedures for deep-seated pancreatic head tumors, preserving pancreatic function and avoiding high-risk anastomoses. Her work has been instrumental in shifting surgical paradigms toward less invasive, organ-sparing resections for rare endocrine tumors. With a growing citation impact, Nieveen van Dijkum’s research continues to shape clinical guidelines and inspire young surgeons to embrace robotic and minimally invasive approaches in complex hepatopancreaticobiliary surgery.
