About
Mahmoud Abdel‐Rasoul is a leading thoracic surgical outcomes researcher whose work has fundamentally shaped the modern understanding of robotic lobectomy for lung cancer. His major contributions center on comparative effectiveness research, using rigorous propensity-score methods to evaluate robotic, video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS), and open surgical approaches. His landmark 2019 studies, each garnering over 100 citations, demonstrated that robotic lobectomy offers comparable clinical effectiveness and hospital costs to VATS while potentially improving pathologic nodal upstaging—a critical metric for accurate cancer staging and survival. His highly cited nomograms for predicting survival after lobectomy provide clinicians with practical tools for patient counseling. Beyond thoracic surgery, Abdel‐Rasoul has investigated postoperative outcomes across specialties, including ocular complications during robotic gynecologic procedures. His recent work analyzing national learning curves for robotic thoracic surgeons has important implications for surgical training and quality improvement. With multiple papers exceeding 100 citations and a growing body of work on segmentectomy and national outcomes, Abdel‐Rasoul has established himself as a pivotal figure in evidence-based thoracic oncology, helping define best practices for minimally invasive lung cancer surgery.
