About
Tristan P. C. van Doormaal is a pioneering neurosurgeon and researcher at the forefront of digital surgery, whose work centers on the integration of mixed reality (MR), augmented reality (AR), and advanced visualization technologies into modern surgical and interventional practice. His major contributions lie in demonstrating how MR can enhance surgical precision, preoperative planning, and intraoperative navigation—particularly in complex cranial and spinal procedures. Van Doormaal’s landmark 2022 narrative review, “Mixed Reality in Modern Surgical and Interventional Practice,” has garnered over 50 citations, establishing a foundational framework for the field. He is also recognized for developing and clinically validating holographic neuronavigation systems that overlay 3D anatomical models directly onto the surgical field, improving outcomes in tumor resection and vascular surgery. Beyond his technical innovations, van Doormaal is a sought-after educator and collaborator, bridging the gap between engineering and clinical medicine. His work has been instrumental in moving mixed reality from experimental novelty to a practical, evidence-based tool, inspiring a new generation of surgeons to embrace digital transformation in the operating room.
