About
Jan D. J. Gumprecht is a pioneering researcher in medical robotics, with a focus on miniaturized surgical systems for ear, nose, and throat (ENT) and minimally invasive procedures. His work centers on developing robotic capsule endoscopes, 3D-printed surgical manipulators, and advanced imaging systems to enhance precision and ergonomics in surgery. Notably, he led the creation of the first 3D-printed medical robot for ENT surgery, specifically for stapedotomy—a delicate middle ear procedure—addressing surgeon posture challenges through application-specific laser sintering. His contributions include a novel ultrasound tracking system for robotic capsule navigation (20 citations) and a robotics-based flat-panel ultrasound device for continuous intraoperative imaging during laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (9 citations). Gumprecht also advanced single-port robot design with a cardan shaft created via selective laser sintering (10 citations) and developed universal gripping adapters for sterile coupling of medical devices and robots (8 citations). His comparative study on manual versus joystick steering of flexible rhino endoscopes (7 citations) further underscores his impact in robotizing ENT diagnostics. With over 67 citations across his key works, Gumprecht’s research bridges 3D printing, robotics, and imaging to transform surgical precision and patient outcomes.
