About

Dr. Evalyn E.A.P. Mulder is a pioneering surgeon and researcher specializing in minimally invasive transplant surgery, with a core focus on advancing donor nephrectomy techniques. Her major contributions center on comparing the efficacy and outcomes of 3D endoscopic donor nephrectomy versus robot-assisted donor nephrectomy, addressing the critical challenge of visual misperception in laparoscopic procedures. In her landmark 2018 study, Dr. Mulder demonstrated that 3D endoscopy offers distinct advantages, including preserved tactile feedback and easier implementation at significantly lower costs than robotic systems, while still providing enhanced depth perception. This work, cited 8 times, has informed surgical decision-making and helped shape cost-effective approaches in living donor kidney transplantation. Her research is instrumental in optimizing surgical precision and patient safety, making her a key voice in the evolution of minimally invasive transplant surgery. Dr. Mulder’s contributions continue to influence both clinical practice and surgical training, underscoring her role in bridging technological innovation with practical, accessible solutions for donor care.
