About
Roeland F. de Wilde is a pioneering surgeon whose work is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive pancreatic and liver surgery. His research centers on the safety, efficacy, and implementation of robotic and laparoscopic techniques for complex procedures like distal pancreatectomy and pancreatoduodenectomy. De Wilde’s major contributions include leading the landmark DIPLOMA trial (121 citations), which provided the first randomized evidence comparing minimally invasive to open distal pancreatectomy for pancreatic cancer, addressing critical oncological safety concerns. He has also been instrumental in defining learning curves for robotic pancreatoduodenectomy, analyzing over 635 cases to establish benchmarks for feasibility, proficiency, and mastery. His development of the PD-ROBOSCORE, a difficulty scoring system for robotic pancreatoduodenectomy (34 citations), offers a practical tool for safe, stepwise surgical adoption. With numerous high-impact publications—including nationwide analyses from the Netherlands and pan-European multicenter studies—de Wilde’s work has garnered over 440 citations, demonstrating significant influence. His research not only advances surgical technique but also provides evidence-based frameworks for training and outcome assessment, making him a key figure in the global shift toward robotic hepatopancreatobiliary surgery.
