About

Bastian Fakundiny is an emerging researcher and clinician specializing in minimally invasive thoracic surgery, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS). His work sits at the intersection of surgical innovation and perioperative medicine, addressing both the technical and anesthetic dimensions of advanced thoracic procedures. Fakundiny's most notable contributions include a 2022 review on robotic-assisted thoracic surgery, which has garnered 5 citations and provides a comprehensive examination of RATS as a superior alternative to conventional video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for pulmonary, mediastinal, and esophageal conditions. Complementing this, his 2021 publication on anesthesiologic considerations in RATS — cited 3 times — offers practical, evidence-based guidance for multidisciplinary teams launching RATS programs, covering the full perioperative spectrum from preoperative assessment to postoperative management. While still early in his citation trajectory, Fakundiny's research addresses a rapidly evolving field where clinical guidance is critically needed. His dual focus on surgical technique and anesthetic protocol reflects a holistic approach to patient care, making his work particularly valuable for institutions seeking to implement or refine robotic thoracic surgery programs.
