About
Dr. Caroline Van Holsbeke is a leading gynecologic surgeon whose research centers on advanced minimally invasive techniques for complex endometriosis, with a particular focus on robotic surgery and fluorescence-guided resection. Her most cited work, a 2023 case report detailing the use of indocyanine green (ICG) during robotic resection of bladder wall endometriosis, has garnered 7 citations, demonstrating its immediate impact on surgical practice. This contribution is pivotal: by showing how ICG fluorescence can illuminate otherwise invisible endometriotic lesions infiltrating the bladder and ureters, Dr. Van Holsbeke has provided surgeons with a real-time tool to achieve more complete, safer resections while reducing the risk of ureteral injury. Her work bridges the gap between imaging and intraoperative decision-making, offering a tangible solution to one of endometriosis surgery’s greatest challenges—identifying disease boundaries. Beyond this landmark paper, Dr. Van Holsbeke’s broader portfolio advances robotic surgical techniques for deep infiltrating endometriosis, establishing her as a key innovator in the field. Her research not only improves patient outcomes by minimizing recurrence and preserving organ function but also equips the next generation of surgeons with reproducible, evidence-based approaches to this debilitating disease.
