About

Vincent Agnus is a leading researcher in computer-assisted surgery, with a focus on enhancing precision and safety in minimally invasive procedures. His work centers on multimodal navigation, combining near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging, virtual and augmented reality (VR-AR), and robotic systems to improve intraoperative visualization. His most impactful contribution is the prospective evaluation of precision multimodal gallbladder surgery navigation, which demonstrated the clinical value of NIR cholangiography and VR-AR during robotic cholecystectomy—a study that has garnered 62 citations and set a benchmark for real-time, radiation-free biliary anatomy enhancement. Agnus has also advanced noninvasive ureter visualization with NIRF imaging in robotic surgery, using novel dyes to prevent iatrogenic injuries, as shown in his porcine model study (10 citations). Additionally, he has developed role-based software architectures for computer-assisted interventions, enabling flexible component integration for applications like electromagnetic tracking and robotized motion rejection in flexible endoscopy. His work bridges engineering and clinical practice, offering tangible tools to reduce surgical risks and improve outcomes.
