About
Sjaak Pouwels is a leading researcher at the forefront of robotic surgery, with a focus on thoracic, metabolic, and bariatric procedures. His work spans clinical outcomes, bibliometric analysis, and the integration of artificial intelligence in rehabilitation robotics. Pouwels has made significant contributions by evaluating the quality of robot-assisted thoracic surgery for non-small cell lung cancer, particularly through nodal upstaging and mediastinal recurrence assessments, and by advancing robotic techniques in metabolic and bariatric surgery, including comparative studies of single anastomosis duodenoileostomy with sleeve gastrectomy versus sleeve gastrectomy alone. His research has garnered over 29 citations across his most-cited papers, with notable works such as the 2021 study on robotic thoracic surgery (8 citations) and a 2024 bibliometric analysis of robotic surgery in Latin America (6 citations). Pouwels also leads collaborative efforts through TROGSS—The Robotic Global Surgical Society, contributing to systematic reviews and meta-analyses that shape global surgical practices. His recent work on AI-driven rehabilitation robotics highlights his forward-looking approach to patient recovery. Pouwels’ research is essential reading for anyone interested in the evolution of robotic surgery, its global adoption, and its future integration with artificial intelligence.
