About
Dr. Hayley R. Henderson is a cardiothoracic surgeon and researcher whose work is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive thoracic surgery. Her primary research focus lies in the application of robotic-assisted techniques for complex procedures, particularly esophagectomy and lobectomy. Dr. Henderson’s major contributions include the development and refinement of the robotic-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE), which builds upon standard MIE to offer patients smaller incisions, reduced pain, and faster recovery. Her landmark 2022 study established a critical link between objective performance indicators in cardiothoracic residents and the risk of vascular injury during robotic-assisted lobectomy on porcine models—a finding with direct implications for surgical training and patient safety. With her most-cited work accumulating 19 citations, Dr. Henderson’s research is gaining traction in the surgical community. Her detailed 2020 technical guide, "Robotic esophagectomy: how I do it?" serves as a practical roadmap for surgeons adopting these advanced techniques. Through her innovative work, Dr. Henderson is not only advancing surgical precision but also setting new standards for resident education in robotic cardiothoracic surgery.
