About
Nine de Graaf is a leading surgical researcher whose work is reshaping the field of pancreatic surgery, with a specific focus on minimally invasive techniques. Her primary research areas include the safety, efficacy, and implementation of laparoscopic and robotic pancreatic resections, particularly pancreatoduodenectomy. De Graaf has made landmark contributions by leading the development of the Brescia Internationally Validated European Guidelines on Minimally Invasive Pancreatic Surgery (EGUMIPS), a foundational document that has garnered over 117 citations and set global standards for practice. Her work on the feasibility and mastery learning curves for robotic pancreatoduodenectomy, based on a multicenter training program involving 635 procedures, has been cited 62 times and is critical for guiding safe adoption. She is also a key investigator in the DIPLOMA-2 trial, a major international patient-blinded randomized controlled trial comparing minimally invasive to open surgery. With multiple papers accumulating hundreds of citations, de Graaf’s research directly informs surgical training, patient selection, and outcome benchmarks, establishing her as a pivotal figure in advancing evidence-based, minimally invasive pancreatic care.
