About
Dr. Yvonne L. J. Vissers is a leading thoracic surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive lung surgery, particularly through the innovative use of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging. Her major contribution lies in refining techniques for video- and robot-assisted thoracoscopic segmentectomies, where precise identification of intersegmental planes is critical for preserving healthy lung tissue. Her 2024 systematic review, which has already garnered 10 citations, rigorously evaluates the efficacy of intravenous ICG in this context, providing a foundational evidence base that guides surgical practice. This work directly addresses a key challenge in thoracic oncology, helping surgeons achieve more accurate, parenchyma-sparing resections. Dr. Vissers’ research is not only technically focused but also clinically impactful, as it translates imaging innovations into improved patient outcomes. By systematically analyzing and validating these advanced visualization tools, she is helping to set new standards in minimally invasive thoracic surgery, making her a pivotal figure in the field’s evolution toward safer, more precise interventions.
