Hein Vincent Stroomberg

About

Hein Vincent Stroomberg is a pioneering surgeon-researcher at the forefront of robotic surgery and kidney transplantation. His work centers on three key areas: the transfer of surgical skills between robotic platforms, the reduction of complications in high-stakes urological procedures, and the advancement of robot-assisted kidney transplantation (RAKT). Stroomberg’s most cited study (29 citations) demonstrated the learning curve for transferring skills from the established DaVinci® system to the novel Hugo™ RAS system, a critical step for safely implementing new surgical technologies. He has also investigated acute kidney injury following radical cystectomy for bladder cancer, identifying risk factors that impact long-term renal function. Currently, Stroomberg is leading the ORAKTx trial, a landmark open-label randomised clinical trial comparing RAKT to open kidney transplantation, with the goal of reducing surgical complications and improving graft survival. His pilot feasibility study in a high-volume Danish centre has already laid the groundwork for this trial. With a career dedicated to rigorous, patient-centered innovation, Stroomberg is shaping the future of minimally invasive transplant surgery.
