About
Marcel J. van der Poel is a leading figure in the field of hepato-pancreato-biliary (HPB) surgery, with a focused expertise in the implementation and advancement of minimally invasive liver surgery (MILS). His research centers on the comparative effectiveness and adoption of laparoscopic and robotic techniques for complex hepatic procedures, including the highly demanding surgery for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PHC). Dr. van der Poel’s major contributions include conducting the first comprehensive, pan-European survey on the implementation of robotic and laparoscopic MILS, a landmark study that has garnered over 57 citations and provided critical, up-to-date insights into the adoption patterns and challenges across the continent. He further advanced the field with a systematic review on minimally invasive surgery for PHC, cited 29 times, which helped clarify the feasibility and safety of these techniques in a notoriously challenging surgical context. His work has been instrumental in shaping clinical guidelines and fostering international collaboration, making him a key voice in the transition toward broader, evidence-based adoption of minimally invasive approaches in liver surgery.
