Robotic esophagectomy
Surgical removal of the oesophagus — robotic-assisted, minimally invasive and embedded in a structured treatment pathway.
Da Vinci Xi and da Vinci 5
The procedure is performed on the da Vinci Xi and da Vinci 5 systems.
Focus on robotic surgery
Robotic surgery became an important part of Dr Meier’s surgical practice early in her training and has since developed into one of the central areas of her clinical and academic work.
Selected for an ESDE Fellowship – a specialised fellowship programme of the European Society for Diseases of the Esophagus – she further refined her expertise in robotic oesophageal and gastric surgery at University Medical Center Mainz. The clinical and scientific collaboration established during the fellowship has continued beyond the fellowship period.
Regular visits to specialised surgical centres in Japan complement this experience, particularly at the National Cancer Center Hospital in Tokyo, Tokyo Medical University and the National Cancer Center Hospital East in Kashiwa.
