About
Dr. Jan Egberts is a pioneering surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques in gastrointestinal oncology and bariatric surgery. His most impactful work centers on robotic-assisted procedures, where he has demonstrated that robotic total mesorectal excision (TME) for rectal cancer yields significantly higher quality specimens than the laparoscopic approach—a finding cited 50 times that has influenced surgical standards. Dr. Egberts also developed the A-OSATS score, a validated objective assessment tool for technical skills in minimally invasive intestinal anastomoses, providing a reliable framework for surgical education and quality assurance. His contributions extend to esophageal cancer, where he detailed the technical nuances of full robotic-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE), and to bariatric surgery, where he pioneered the use of barbed sutures in robotic bypass procedures. With a growing citation record and a focus on measurable surgical outcomes, Dr. Egberts is shaping the future of robotic surgery through rigorous evidence and innovative assessment methods.
