About
Dr. Lissa Wullaert is a pioneering surgical oncologist whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive techniques for colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) resection, with a particular focus on improving surgical precision and oncologic outcomes. Her most cited work, a 2024 study on ICG-fluorescence imaging for margin assessment during minimally invasive CRLM surgery, has already garnered 49 citations, underscoring its immediate impact. This landmark investigation addresses the critical challenge of unintended tumor-positive resection margins, demonstrating how indocyanine green (ICG)-fluorescence guidance can enhance real-time visualization of tumor boundaries, thereby reducing the risk of incomplete resections. Dr. Wullaert’s contributions are reshaping intraoperative decision-making, offering a pathway to more accurate, margin-negative surgeries that potentially improve patient survival. Her work bridges the gap between advanced imaging technology and clinical practice, positioning her as a key figure in the evolution of fluorescence-guided surgery. With a growing citation record and a focus on translating technical innovations into tangible patient benefits, Dr. Wullaert is a rising leader in surgical oncology, inspiring future research into precision-guided oncologic resections.
