About
Dr. Jacques Jougon is a distinguished thoracic surgeon whose research has significantly advanced the safety and precision of video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). His key contributions center on identifying patient-specific risk factors that lead to intraoperative conversion from minimally invasive VATS to open thoracotomy, a critical area for improving surgical outcomes. His landmark study, "Patient risk factors for conversion during video-assisted thoracic surgery—the Epithor conversion score," published in 2022 with 11 citations, developed a predictive scoring system that enables surgeons to better anticipate and manage high-risk cases. This work has been instrumental in reducing complications and refining patient selection for VATS procedures. Beyond this, Dr. Jougon has made notable contributions to thoracic oncology and surgical technique, with his research influencing clinical guidelines and training programs. His dedication to evidence-based practice and surgical innovation has earned him recognition as a leading figure in thoracic surgery, making his work essential reading for students and researchers aiming to understand the evolving landscape of minimally invasive thoracic interventions.
