About
Joakim Hennings is a surgical oncologist whose research centers on the surgical management of neuroendocrine neoplasms, with a particular focus on small bowel neuroendocrine tumors (SB-NENs). His work addresses the critical gap between the widespread adoption of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) in gastrointestinal oncology and its slower implementation for SB-NENs. In his landmark 2021 study, an international survey of expert surgeons, Hennings systematically captured global attitudes, barriers, and practice patterns regarding laparoscopic and robotic approaches for these rare tumors. This work, cited 8 times, provides foundational evidence for standardizing MIS techniques in SB-NEN care and has influenced clinical guidelines. Beyond this survey, Hennings contributes to the broader field of hepatopancreatobiliary and endocrine surgery, advocating for evidence-based, patient-centered surgical innovation. His research is particularly valuable for trainees and clinicians navigating the complexities of treating low-incidence tumors, offering both practical insights and a roadmap for future multicenter trials.
