About
Frederique L. Vissers is a pioneering surgeon-scientist whose work has fundamentally reshaped the landscape of pancreatic surgery, with a specific focus on minimally invasive techniques. Her primary research areas include the safety, efficacy, and oncological outcomes of laparoscopic and robotic distal pancreatectomy and pancreatoduodenectomy. Dr. Vissers’s major contributions are anchored in large-scale, international collaborative efforts. She was instrumental in developing the Miami International Evidence-based Guidelines on Minimally Invasive Pancreas Resection (cited 478 times), which established the first global standards for these complex procedures. Her leadership in the landmark DIPLOMA trial (cited 121 times) provided crucial randomized evidence comparing minimally invasive versus open distal pancreatectomy for pancreatic cancer, directly addressing longstanding concerns about oncological safety. Additionally, her work on conversion risk during robotic and laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy (cited 60 times) has helped surgeons better predict and manage intraoperative challenges. Through the European E-MIPS registry, she continues to shape real-world practice. Dr. Vissers’s research has been pivotal in moving the field from anecdotal experience to evidence-based practice, directly improving patient recovery and outcomes.
