About
T.J.N. Hermans is a surgical researcher advancing the field of urologic oncology, with a focus on robot-assisted surgery for kidney and bladder cancers. Their work centers on improving surgical training, comparing surgical techniques, and evaluating long-term patient outcomes. Hermans led the development and validation of a 3D-printed training model for robot-assisted partial nephrectomy, addressing the critical challenge of safely learning complex enucleation and renorraphy phases outside the live operating room—a contribution that has already garnered 6 citations since 2023. In bladder cancer research, Hermans conducted a pivotal nationwide study in the Netherlands comparing intermediate-term overall survival between robot-assisted and open radical cystectomy for muscle-invasive and high-risk non-muscle-invasive disease (2021, 2 citations). Most recently, they performed a single-center retrospective analysis comparing stapled versus manually sutured bowel anastomosis in robot-assisted radical cystectomy (2025), providing evidence to refine surgical technique. By systematically evaluating both training innovations and surgical outcomes, Hermans is helping to establish best practices that improve patient safety and surgical education in minimally invasive urologic oncology.
