About
Geert Vandenbroucke is a pioneering surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly in urology and anesthesiology. His key contributions lie in optimizing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy and developing novel carbon dioxide removal technologies for laparoscopic procedures. Notably, his prospective study on low-pressure robot-assisted radical prostatectomy using the AirSeal system, conducted at OLV Hospital, demonstrated significant clinical benefits in reducing postoperative pain and improving recovery times, earning 29 citations. More recently, Vandenbroucke has focused on intraoperative gas management, co-authoring the in vivo evaluation of the Memsorb™ CO2 removal device with the Zeus IE® system (5 citations), a breakthrough that promises to enhance patient safety during prolonged laparoscopic surgeries by efficiently eliminating excess CO2. His work bridges surgical innovation and anesthesiology, directly impacting patient outcomes. Vandenbroucke’s research is characterized by a commitment to translating engineering solutions into practical clinical tools, making him a key figure in the evolution of low-pressure laparoscopy and respiratory management in the operating room.
