About
Desmond Khor is a leading thoracic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on optimizing surgical outcomes for lung cancer patients, with a particular focus on minimally invasive techniques. His most cited paper, a 2020 systematic review and network meta-analysis comparing open, video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS), and robotic approaches for pulmonary lobectomy, has garnered 74 citations, reflecting its pivotal role in guiding evidence-based surgical decision-making. Khor’s major contribution lies in rigorously evaluating the comparative effectiveness and safety of these modalities, helping to clarify the benefits of VATS and robotic surgery in reducing morbidity while maintaining oncologic efficacy. Beyond this landmark study, his research spans perioperative care, health services research, and the integration of advanced technologies into thoracic surgery. Khor’s work has been instrumental in shaping clinical guidelines and informing surgeons worldwide, making him a respected voice in the field. His ability to synthesize complex data into actionable insights underscores his impact, and he continues to advance the frontier of precision surgery for lung cancer.
