About

Joshua A. Scheinerman is a leading figure in robotic thoracic and cardiac surgery, with a research focus on advancing minimally invasive techniques for complex pulmonary and cardiac procedures. His major contributions center on defining the learning curve and expanding the indications for robotic surgery, particularly in high-risk cases. His most-cited work, "Beyond the learning curve: a review of complex cases in robotic thoracic surgery" (2021, 16 citations), systematically analyzes the progression from standard to challenging robotic resections, providing a roadmap for surgeons transitioning to advanced practice. In "Extended Robotic Pulmonary Resections" (2021, 8 citations), he demonstrates the feasibility and safety of robotic approaches for non-small cell lung cancer, a leading cause of cancer mortality. More recently, his 2025 paper on left ventricular outflow tract modification during robotic mitral valve repair (3 citations) showcases his innovative work in combining structural heart interventions with robotic precision. Scheinerman’s research has been instrumental in establishing evidence-based protocols that broaden access to robotic surgery, improving outcomes for patients with complex cardiothoracic disease. His work is essential reading for surgeons and trainees seeking to master the next generation of minimally invasive thoracic oncology and cardiac repair.
