About
Frank Willem Jansen is a leading gynecologic surgeon and researcher whose work has shaped the modern practice of minimally invasive gynecologic surgery. His primary research focuses on the implementation, safety, and outcomes of advanced laparoscopic and robotic techniques, with a particular emphasis on hysterectomy and myomectomy. Jansen’s major contributions include identifying critical risk factors for intraoperative conversion during laparoscopic myomectomy (22 citations) and analyzing readmission trends after hysterectomy (17 citations), providing evidence-based guidance for surgical decision-making. He has also raised important questions about the unintended consequences of surgical innovation, documenting a decline in individual surgeon volume following the successful implementation of advanced laparoscopy (9 citations). Notably, Jansen has been a vocal advocate for evidence-based practice in robotic surgery, publishing critical analyses that highlight the lack of high-quality proof for its efficacy in the Netherlands. His work serves as a vital resource for surgeons and hospitals striving to balance technological adoption with patient safety and surgical volume standards.
