About
Tessa Buckle is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of image-guided surgery, oncological imaging, and surgical robotics, with particular expertise in sentinel lymph node detection in prostate cancer. Her work has fundamentally advanced the clinical application of hybrid tracers — technologies that combine radioactive and fluorescent properties to guide surgeons with unprecedented precision during minimally invasive procedures. Buckle's most celebrated contribution, cited over 329 times, demonstrated the first clinical proof of concept for intraoperative laparoscopic fluorescence guidance to sentinel lymph nodes in prostate cancer, opening new possibilities for more accurate and less invasive staging. Building on this foundation, she has championed multispectral fluorescence imaging and hybrid radio-fluorescence approaches, showing how preoperative imaging and real-time intraoperative guidance can be seamlessly integrated. Her 2019 paper on artificial intelligence and robotics in the operating room (137 citations) reflects her broader vision for the future of surgery, while her more recent work on molecular image-guided robotic surgery signals her continued relevance at the field's cutting edge. With a cumulative body of work exceeding 700 citations, Buckle has established herself as an influential voice shaping how surgeons see, navigate, and operate — translating complex imaging science into tangible patient benefit.
