About

Dr. Agathe Seguin-Givelet is a leading French thoracic surgeon whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive techniques for lung cancer surgery, with a particular focus on thoracoscopic and robotic-assisted approaches. Her most impactful work, "Anatomical variations and pitfalls to know during thoracoscopic segmentectomies" (39 citations), has become an essential guide for surgeons performing sublobar resections, a parenchymal-sparing alternative to lobectomy for early-stage non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). She has been instrumental in evaluating the real-world outcomes of segmentectomy versus lobectomy, contributing to the paradigm shift toward less invasive, lung-preserving procedures. Dr. Seguin-Givelet has also pioneered innovations in surgical ergonomics, such as the motorized scope positioner for solo thoracoscopic surgery, and has led large-scale multicenter studies, including the EPITHOR database analyses, to assess patient safety incidents and compare robotic-assisted versus video-assisted thoracic surgery. Her work in the French thoracic surgery community, including efforts to define the specialty's training and identity, underscores her commitment to improving surgical quality and patient outcomes. With a growing body of high-impact research, she is shaping the future of thoracic oncology surgery.
