About
Kristina Jansen is a leading figure in upper gastrointestinal surgery, with a focused expertise in robotic and minimally invasive techniques for esophageal cancer. Her most impactful work centers on the standardization and global assessment of Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy (RAMIE). As a key contributor to the Upper GI International Robotic Association, Jansen spearheaded the landmark 2020 multicenter study, "Worldwide Techniques and Outcomes in RAMIE," which has garnered 73 citations. This work was critical in moving beyond single-center reports, providing the first comprehensive, international snapshot of RAMIE practices and outcomes, thereby establishing a global benchmark for the procedure. Her research directly addresses the need for generalizable evidence in a rapidly evolving surgical field. By cataloging diverse surgical techniques and correlating them with patient outcomes, Jansen has helped define best practices and informed the training of a new generation of robotic surgeons. Her contributions are essential for any researcher or clinician seeking to understand the current state and future direction of minimally invasive esophageal surgery.
