About
Burak Onan is a pioneering cardiac surgeon whose career has been defined by a relentless pursuit of minimally invasive and robotic techniques in cardiac surgery. Working at the forefront of a transformative era in surgical innovation, Onan has established himself as a leading authority in robotic cardiac surgery, with particular expertise in congenital heart defects, mitral valve surgery, and complex structural cardiac pathologies. His most cited work, "Robotic Cardiac Surgery in Europe: Status 2020" (79 citations), helped map the continental landscape of robotic adoption, while his research on patient body image and cosmetic outcomes (53 citations) demonstrated a holistic commitment to patient-centered care that extends beyond clinical metrics. Notably, Onan has broken new ground in pediatric robotic surgery, publishing landmark early experiences with totally endoscopic robotic procedures in children — a domain where few surgeons worldwide have ventured. His case reports on rare conditions, including coronary sinus atrial septal defects, giant left ventricular myxomas, and mitral valve replacement in pectus excavatum, have provided the field with invaluable technical guidance. With a cumulative citation count surpassing 280 across his top works, Onan's contributions continue to shape how surgeons worldwide approach minimally invasive cardiac intervention.
