About
Isabelle Van Herzeele is a leading vascular surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of surgical education, simulation, and robotic-assisted procedures. Her primary research areas include structured training in robotic surgery, endovascular aneurysm repair, and the cognitive demands of minimally invasive techniques. She has made major contributions by spearheading the first multispecialty consensus on robotic training, the Orsi Consensus Meeting (OCERT), which established foundational guidelines for European robotic education. Her work on manual versus robot-assisted cannulation in endovascular aneurysm repair has informed safer, more efficient surgical practices. With over 100 citations across her most influential papers, Van Herzeele has also advanced the use of simulators in vascular training, addressing the critical need for quality and safety in modern medicine. Notably, her exploration of the human brain’s capacity to control seven degrees of freedom highlights her interest in the neurocognitive challenges of robotic surgery. Through these contributions, Van Herzeele has shaped how surgeons are trained and how robotic technologies are integrated into clinical practice, making her a pivotal figure in the evolution of surgical education and vascular intervention.
