About
Dr. Cengiz Gebitekin is a pioneering thoracic surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for complex oncologic resections. His primary research focuses on developing and refining video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) approaches for en-bloc anatomical lung and chest wall resection—a technically demanding procedure traditionally performed via open thoracotomy. In his landmark 2023 study, Dr. Gebitekin demonstrated the feasibility and safety of these minimally invasive methods in a cohort of 22 patients, achieving complete tumor removal with reduced morbidity compared to conventional open surgery. This work has garnered 2 citations and represents a significant step toward expanding the indications for VATS in locally advanced chest wall tumors. Beyond this contribution, Dr. Gebitekin has been instrumental in establishing protocols for minimally invasive thoracic oncology at his institution, training a generation of surgeons in these advanced techniques. His research continues to push the boundaries of what is possible through small incisions, offering patients with complex thoracic malignancies access to less invasive, recovery-sparing surgical options.
