About
Dr. Meera Mehta is a leading thoracic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive lung cancer surgery, particularly through the use of intraoperative imaging technologies. Her most cited work, a 2019 study on near-infrared mapping with indocyanine green during minimally invasive segmentectomy, demonstrated that this technique significantly increases oncological margin length—a critical factor in reducing local recurrence. This contribution has been cited 45 times, establishing her as a key innovator in precision-guided pulmonary resection. Dr. Mehta’s research bridges surgical oncology and biomedical optics, offering practical solutions to improve tumor clearance while preserving healthy lung tissue. Her work has been recognized for its direct clinical impact, helping to standardize the use of fluorescence imaging in thoracic surgery. By integrating real-time visualization into complex procedures, she has enhanced surgical accuracy and patient outcomes. Dr. Mehta continues to investigate novel applications of near-infrared technology, solidifying her reputation as a pioneer in the field of image-guided oncologic surgery.
