About

Jasper P. Sijberden has established himself as a leading voice in minimally invasive liver surgery, with research concentrated at the intersection of robotic and laparoscopic hepatic resection. His work systematically interrogates one of the field's most pressing clinical questions: whether the robotic approach offers meaningful advantages over conventional laparoscopy in liver surgery. His most-cited study, "Robotic Versus Laparoscopic Liver Resection in Various Settings" (2024, 76 citations), provides a rigorous comparative analysis of perioperative outcomes across diverse surgical contexts, offering surgeons nuanced, evidence-based guidance. Beyond head-to-head comparisons, Sijberden has made significant contributions to understanding how patient complexity shapes surgical risk — notably through his investigations into the impact of liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension on resection difficulty and outcomes across anterolateral, posterosuperior, and major resection settings. His nationwide propensity score analyses and large-scale international cohort studies, including a landmark 5,424-patient investigation into operative time and complications, reflect both methodological rigor and broad collaborative reach. With over 160 cumulative citations across eight prominent studies, Sijberden's body of work is actively shaping surgical decision-making and the evolving standardization of robotic liver surgery worldwide.
