Jurriaan Tuynman
Jurriaan Tuynman posits that CME and CVL should become the new nationwide standard, as they have the capacity to enhance oncological outcomes and ensure greater surgical consistency. The necessity of standardised techniques, appropriate training, and systematic quality monitoring for successful implementation is emphasised. The goal is to move from individual expertise to a reproducible, evidence-based standard of care across the country.
