About
Gijs H. KleinJan is a pioneering researcher in the field of image-guided surgery, with a particular focus on fluorescence-guided techniques, sentinel lymph node detection, and hybrid imaging technologies applied to oncological surgery. His work has fundamentally advanced the integration of radio- and fluorescence-guidance in minimally invasive, robot-assisted procedures, most notably in the context of prostate cancer management. KleinJan's most influential contribution — his 2018 hybrid imaging study, now with 155 citations — established a compelling framework for combining preoperative nuclear imaging with intraoperative fluorescence guidance to optimize sentinel node identification. His early work on optimizing fluorescence guidance during robot-assisted laparoscopic sentinel node biopsy (119 citations) helped lay the clinical groundwork for what has since become a rapidly growing surgical discipline. He further pushed boundaries through multispectral fluorescence imaging, enabling anatomical discrimination between distinct lymphatic drainage pathways — a breakthrough with meaningful implications for reducing surgical morbidity. His research consistently bridges nuclear medicine and robotic surgery, developing multimodal hybrid imaging agents and quantitative frameworks for evaluating signal-to-background ratios in fluorescence-guided procedures. With over 440 cumulative citations across his top publications, KleinJan's body of work represents a cornerstone contribution to precision surgical oncology and continues to shape how surgeons navigate complex anatomical landscapes in the operating room.
