About

Hendrik A. Marsman is a pioneering surgeon and researcher whose work is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive liver surgery. His primary research areas include robotic and laparoscopic liver resection, fluorescence-guided surgery, and the optimization of surgical outcomes for colorectal liver metastases. Dr. Marsman has made landmark contributions to the field, most notably demonstrating that Indocyanine Green (ICG) fluorescence imaging can significantly improve margin assessment during minimally invasive colorectal liver metastasis resection—a critical advance in reducing unintended tumor-positive margins. His nationwide analyses in the Netherlands have been instrumental in validating the safety and efficacy of robotic liver surgery, with his 2022 study on implementation and outcomes (41 citations) providing foundational data on the learning curve. More recently, his propensity-matched comparison of robotic versus laparoscopic approaches (2024) has offered robust evidence for the robotic platform’s advantages. With cumulative citations exceeding 100 and a growing portfolio of high-impact studies, including pioneering work on outpatient robotic hepatectomy, Dr. Marsman is a leading voice in the global shift toward less invasive, more precise hepatobiliary surgery.
