About
Wilhelmina M. U. van Grevenstein is a pioneering colorectal surgeon whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for rectal cancer and gallbladder disease. Her major contributions lie in evaluating robotic and single-port approaches, with a focus on improving functional outcomes and quality of life for patients. Her 2016 study on robotic single-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy demonstrated the procedure’s safety while highlighting technical challenges, earning 22 citations. More recently, her 2024 systematic review and meta-analysis comparing open, laparoscopic, robot-assisted, and transanal total mesorectal excision (TME) for rectal cancer—cited 16 times—provides crucial evidence on how surgical technique impacts postoperative function and quality of life. Dr. van Grevenstein leads the EUREKA collaborative, a multinational cohort study evaluating clinical, oncological, and functional outcomes after robotic rectal cancer surgery. Her work on risk factors for positive circumferential resection margins in robot-assisted TME (2025) offers a predictive model to improve surgical precision and patient survival. With a growing portfolio of high-impact studies, she is shaping the future of robotic colorectal surgery.
