About
Pernille Tine Jensen is a pioneering surgical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of robotic-assisted surgery, gynecologic oncology, and surgical ergonomics. With a career dedicated to advancing minimally invasive techniques, Jensen has made landmark contributions to understanding how robotic surgery affects both patient outcomes and the physical wellbeing of surgeons themselves. Her most cited work, the international randomized controlled trial on robot-assisted cervical cancer treatment (150 citations), reflects her leadership in rigorous clinical investigation. Complementing this, her population-based studies on endometrial and cervical cancer following Denmark's nationwide adoption of robotic surgery — collectively accumulating over 180 citations — have provided critical real-world evidence on survival outcomes and complication rates, directly informing clinical policy. Equally distinctive is Jensen's sustained focus on surgeon health. Her systematic review on musculoskeletal pain among minimally invasive surgeons (73 citations) and her comparative studies on posture and muscle strain during laparoscopic versus robotic procedures (80 citations) have elevated ergonomics as a serious research priority within surgical culture. Her work on autonomous robotic suturing and cross-specialty training curricula further signals her forward-thinking engagement with surgical education and technology. Altogether, Jensen's research shapes how surgeons operate — and how safely they do so — for years to come.
