About

Dr. Piet Hinoul is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, with a particular focus on the diffusion, optimization, and safety of robotic-assisted technologies. His research critically examines the real-world adoption of robotic surgery, as evidenced by his highly cited 2020 retrospective population-based study (22 citations) which analyzed trends in robotic procedures for prostate, uterus, and colorectal surgeries, highlighting disparities in access and utilization. Dr. Hinoul has also made practical contributions to surgical technique, notably through his work on a hybrid robotic-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy using the ENSEAL® Tissue Sealing Device, detailed in a large 590-patient case series. More recently, he has been at the forefront of conceptualizing the future of surgical care, co-authoring a 2025 framework for scalable remote robotic-assisted surgery that bridges innovation with patient safety. His work consistently demonstrates a commitment to not only advancing surgical technology but also ensuring its safe, equitable, and effective integration into clinical practice, making him a key voice in the evolution of robotic surgery.
