About
Dr. Kevin Grannan is a surgical researcher whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive thoracic surgery, particularly for lung cancer treatment. His major contributions lie in evaluating and comparing the safety and efficacy of robotic versus video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for pulmonary lobectomies. In his highly cited 2019 study, "Comparison of pulmonary lobectomies using robotic and video-assisted thoracoscopic approaches: results from 2010-2013 National Inpatient Sample," Dr. Grannan analyzed national data to demonstrate that robotic lobectomy is a safe alternative to VATS, with comparable or improved postoperative outcomes. This work, which has garnered 10 citations, provides critical evidence supporting the adoption of robotic techniques in thoracic surgery. By leveraging large-scale inpatient data, Dr. Grannan’s research helps guide clinical decision-making and surgical innovation, ultimately aiming to improve recovery and reduce complications for patients undergoing lung cancer surgery. His findings are a valuable resource for surgeons and trainees exploring the benefits of robotic-assisted approaches.
