About

Dr. Evelyn Despierre is a pioneering force in gynecologic oncology, with a focused expertise in advancing minimally invasive and remote surgical techniques. Her major contributions lie at the intersection of robotic surgery and telesurgery, where she has worked to improve both oncologic outcomes and patient access to specialized care. Her most cited work, a 2020 study on robot-assisted surgery for endometrial cancer within a Belgian cohort (15 citations), provides critical data on the safety and efficacy of these procedures, directly influencing clinical protocols. Dr. Despierre’s most notable achievement is her groundbreaking role in the first European clinical case of robot-assisted telesurgery in gynecology, performed in 2025. Using the Toumai® Endoscopic Surgery System, she successfully conducted a total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingectomy on a 34-year-old patient. This pioneering procedure (6 citations) demonstrates the feasibility of remote surgical intervention, potentially revolutionizing care for patients in underserved regions. Through her work, Dr. Despierre is not only refining current surgical standards but also charting the future of accessible, high-precision gynecologic oncology.
