About
Dr. Anouk E.J. Latenstein is a leading surgical researcher whose work is reshaping the landscape of hepato-pancreato-biliary (HPB) surgery, with a particular focus on minimally invasive and robotic techniques for complex oncologic procedures. Her primary research areas include the implementation of robotic pancreatoduodenectomy (RPD) and the safety of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PHC). Dr. Latenstein’s major contribution is her pivotal role in the LAELAPS-3 multicenter training program, which demonstrated the feasibility and safety of a structured, stepwise approach to implementing RPD across multiple centers, as detailed in her highly cited 2021 paper (118 citations). This work provides a crucial framework for safely adopting advanced robotic techniques in HPB surgery. Additionally, her systematic review on MIS for PHC (29 citations) critically assessed the feasibility of these demanding procedures, highlighting both the potential benefits and the significant challenges. Through these impactful studies, Dr. Latenstein has provided essential evidence and practical guidelines that are helping to standardize and safely expand the use of robotic and minimally invasive approaches in complex pancreatic and biliary surgery.
