About
Dr. Hannes Van Den Bossche is a pioneering surgeon-researcher at the forefront of robotic surgery and augmented reality (AR) in urology. His work centers on two revolutionary areas: comparative robotic platform performance and the integration of artificial intelligence with AR for real-time surgical guidance. His landmark 2023 study, cited 60 times, provided the first comparative evidence between the da Vinci and Hugo robotic systems during radical prostatectomy, offering crucial data for surgical decision-making. Dr. Van Den Bossche’s most impactful contribution, however, is his first-in-human demonstration of AI-assisted instrument deocclusion during AR robotic surgery (26 citations). This innovation solves a critical barrier to AR adoption: the negative impact of occlusions—where instruments or tissues block the surgeon’s view of the 3D model overlay. By developing intelligent algorithms that automatically handle these occlusions, he has made AR overlay more practical and reliable. His work promises to enhance surgical precision and safety, positioning him as a leader in the next generation of computer-assisted surgery.
