Name
Dr. Geert De Naeyer
Title
Urologist, AZORG Hospitals, Aalst, Belgium
Bio
A globally renowned urologist with over a decade of experience at AZORG Hospitals, Dr. Geert De Naeyer is recognized as a pioneer of the HOLEP technique in the Benelux and has trained surgeons across Europe in minimally invasive and robotic urology.
His engagement with additive manufacturing began not in a research lab, but on the hospital floor: confronted with the daily limitations of existing tools, he partnered with PrintPlace, now embedded on the AZORG Moorselbaan campus, to co-develop a patient-specific guidance tool for prostate punctures.
Currently in patient testing, this project exemplifies what point-of-care AM can look like when driven by genuine clinical need. AZORG Hospitals, which covers five campuses across the Aalst region, has made this collaboration part of a deliberate institutional strategy to position itself as a pioneer in point-of-care medical 3D printing in Belgium.
