About
Lukas Pollmann is a surgical researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive esophagectomy and intraoperative fluorescence imaging. His major contributions lie in two interconnected areas: quantifying indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence to improve perfusion assessment, and refining robotic-assisted surgical techniques to reduce complications. His 2023 paper on ICG quantification in general, visceral, and transplant surgery, with 22 citations, provides a critical systematic overview that moves the field beyond qualitative evaluation toward objective, reproducible metrics. In parallel, his retrospective comparison of hybrid versus full-robotic-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE), cited 11 times, offers valuable evidence on perioperative outcomes and morbidity, directly informing surgical decision-making. Most recently, Pollmann has pioneered an unsupervised learning approach to ICG quantification during full robotic esophagectomy, demonstrating his commitment to integrating artificial intelligence with surgical practice. By combining rigorous clinical analysis with cutting-edge computational methods, Pollmann is helping to reduce the risks of complex esophageal surgery—particularly anastomotic leakage—and setting a new standard for evidence-based, technology-driven surgical care.
