About
Dr. Maarten Korrel is a leading surgical researcher whose work has fundamentally reshaped the landscape of pancreatic surgery, specifically focusing on the oncologic safety and patient outcomes of minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy (MIDP). His research rigorously addresses the critical question of whether MIDP is a safe and effective alternative to open surgery for pancreatic cancer. Dr. Korrel’s most impactful contribution is his role in the landmark DIPLOMA trial, the first international randomized non-inferiority trial comparing minimally invasive versus open distal pancreatectomy for resectable pancreatic cancer, a study that has already garnered over 120 citations. He was also instrumental in developing the first evidence-based guidelines on minimally invasive pancreas resection, the Miami International Guidelines, which have been cited nearly 500 times. Beyond these pivotal trials, his work includes a highly-cited systematic review and meta-analysis on oncologic outcomes and long-term quality-of-life analyses from the LEOPARD trial. Dr. Korrel’s research provides the highest level of evidence for surgeons worldwide, demonstrating that MIDP can achieve comparable oncologic outcomes with enhanced recovery, thereby setting a new standard of care for patients with pancreatic disease.
