About
P. Meershoek is a leading figure in the field of radioguided and fluorescence-guided surgery, with a specific focus on advancing minimally invasive techniques for prostate cancer. Their primary research centers on developing novel intraoperative imaging tools to enhance the precision of lymph node dissections during robot-assisted laparoscopic procedures. Meershoek’s most significant contribution is the pioneering development and clinical translation of the DROP-IN gamma probe, a tethered device designed to overcome the limited maneuverability of traditional laparoscopic probes within the robotic surgical setting. This innovation has been validated in landmark first-in-human studies (82 citations) and is now a cornerstone for radioguided sentinel node procedures. Their work has had a substantial impact, with their top-cited paper on the DROP-IN probe accumulating 90 citations. Beyond radioguidance, Meershoek has also made notable strides in multispectral fluorescence imaging, demonstrating the ability to differentiate healthy from diseased lymphatic anatomy during robot-assisted laparoscopy (30 citations). By integrating these technologies, their research is directly improving surgical autonomy and outcomes for patients with recurrent prostate cancer.
