About
Dr. Yanina Jansen is a pioneering thoracic surgeon whose work is redefining precision in minimally invasive lung surgery. Her primary research focuses on advanced surgical techniques for lung cancer, with a particular emphasis on optimizing the use of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging during video-assisted and robot-assisted thoracoscopic segmentectomies. Her landmark 2024 systematic review, "The use of intravenous indocyanine green in minimally invasive segmental lung resections," has already garnered 10 citations, establishing a critical evidence base for this emerging technique. In this work, Dr. Jansen systematically evaluated the efficacy of intravenous ICG for identifying intersegmental planes, a crucial step in preserving healthy lung tissue during segmental resections. By synthesizing available data, she has provided surgeons with a clearer roadmap for adopting this technology, potentially reducing complications and improving patient outcomes. Her contributions are particularly significant in the field of oncologic thoracic surgery, where the balance between complete tumor resection and maximal lung preservation is paramount. Dr. Jansen’s research is not only advancing surgical precision but also shaping the future standard of care for lung cancer patients undergoing minimally invasive procedures.
