About
Dr. M. D. Slooter is a pioneering surgical oncologist whose research centers on intraoperative fluorescence imaging to improve the precision and outcomes of minimally invasive cancer surgery. Their major contributions lie in harnessing indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence to address critical intraoperative challenges. In a landmark 2024 study (49 citations), Dr. Slooter demonstrated that ICG-fluorescence guidance can significantly reduce unintended tumor-positive resection margins during minimally invasive colorectal liver metastasis surgery, directly impacting oncologic outcomes. Additionally, their innovative 2023 FLUOPAN study (9 citations) introduced ICG-fluorescence imaging during robotic pancreatoduodenectomy to detect suture-induced hypoperfusion of the pancreatic stump—a novel predictor of postoperative pancreatic fistula. This work addresses the critical lack of tactile feedback in robotic surgery, offering a real-time solution to a life-threatening complication. By translating advanced imaging technologies into practical intraoperative tools, Dr. Slooter’s research not only enhances surgical precision but also provides actionable insights to reduce morbidity and improve survival in complex hepatopancreaticobiliary and colorectal cancer surgeries. Their work is shaping the future of image-guided, minimally invasive oncology.
