About
Rik Carette is a pioneering researcher in the field of urological surgery and medical device innovation, with a primary focus on advancing minimally invasive techniques and improving intraoperative safety. His most impactful work centers on the application of low-pressure pneumoperitoneum systems in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, as demonstrated by his highly cited 2017 study evaluating the AirSeal system at OLV Hospital. This prospective investigation, which has garnered 29 citations, provided critical evidence for reducing patient morbidity during robotic surgery by maintaining stable abdominal pressure and enhancing smoke evacuation. Carette’s contributions extend to respiratory technology through his collaborative work on the Memsorb™ CO2 removal device, where he validated its in vivo performance with the Zeus IE® anesthesia system in a 2022 study. This research addresses a key challenge in laparoscopic surgery—efficient carbon dioxide elimination—while minimizing physiological stress. His work bridges surgical technique and engineering, offering practical solutions that enhance surgical precision and patient recovery. With a career dedicated to refining robotic platforms and respiratory adjuncts, Carette continues to shape the future of urological oncology and perioperative care, making his research essential reading for clinicians and biomedical engineers alike.
