About
Jan-Hendrik Egberts is a pioneering surgeon whose work is reshaping the landscape of pediatric and oncologic robotic surgery. His research centers on the feasibility, safety, and technical refinement of minimally invasive robotic procedures, particularly for the most vulnerable patients. A landmark contribution is his 2021 study on robotic infant surgery using 3 mm instruments, demonstrating the first successful application of the Senhance® system in piglets under 10 kg—a critical step toward expanding robotic access to neonates and small children. With over 60 combined citations, his work has also advanced the field of esophageal cancer surgery, notably through detailed anatomical studies for robot-assisted cervical esophagectomy (RACE) and comparative analyses of anastomotic techniques in RAMIE to reduce leakage rates. Beyond the operating room, Egberts has shown a commitment to medical education, proving that involving preclinical students in surgical congresses can significantly boost their motivation to pursue a career in surgery. His forward-looking publications on augmented reality and cyber-physical systems in robotic surgery further underscore his role as a visionary, ensuring that his impact extends from the benchtop to the bedside and into the future of surgical training.
