About
Bram Vanhoof is a pioneering surgeon and researcher in the field of minimally invasive hepatobiliary surgery, with a particular focus on robotic liver resections. His most impactful work critically evaluates the clinical outcomes and learning curve associated with robotic liver surgery, based on a substantial series of 350 procedures performed by an early adopter of laparoscopic techniques. This landmark study, published in 2025 and already garnering 3 citations, provides essential benchmarks for safety, efficacy, and the steepness of the learning curve in robotic hepatectomy. Vanhoof’s contributions are instrumental in guiding the safe adoption of robotic platforms, offering evidence that helps define best practices for surgical teams transitioning from laparoscopic to robotic approaches. By systematically analyzing outcomes and the necessary experience to achieve proficiency, his research directly supports the advancement of patient care and surgical training in complex liver surgery. As an early adopter and methodical evaluator, Vanhoof is shaping the future of robotic hepatobiliary surgery.
