About

Guillaume Custillon is a biomedical engineer and researcher specializing in surgical guidance systems, with a focus on augmented reality and ultrasound imaging for urological oncology. His primary research areas include image-guided surgery, robotic-assisted interventions, and the development of fusion platforms that integrate laparoscopic and ultrasound technologies. Custillon’s major contribution is the pioneering development of a motorized 3-dimensional transurethral ultrasound probe designed to provide real-time augmented reality guidance during laparoscopic and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. His 2016 preclinical evaluation of this system, published in a leading journal, demonstrated the feasibility of overlaying ultrasound data onto the surgical field to improve anatomical orientation and precision, earning 9 citations. His 2013 work further catalogued devices and systems targeted at enhancing robotic radical prostatectomy, accumulating 6 citations. These contributions are notable for addressing a critical challenge in prostate cancer surgery—visualizing hidden structures like the neurovascular bundle—and for laying groundwork that could reduce positive surgical margins and improve functional outcomes. Custillon’s research bridges engineering and clinical practice, offering a tangible step toward safer, more effective minimally invasive surgery.
