About

Daniel Gross is a thoracic surgeon and researcher dedicated to advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques and perioperative care. His primary research areas focus on robotic thoracoscopic surgery and enhanced recovery after thoracic surgery (ERATS) protocols. Dr. Gross has made significant contributions by demonstrating that robotic anatomic lung resections can safely achieve postoperative day 1 discharge, reporting a tenfold increase in such outcomes through protocol optimization. His work on multimodal pain management has been pivotal, establishing the essential role of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in reducing opioid requirements after robotic lung resections. Notably, he has shown that continual refinement of ERATS protocols can lead to opioid-free discharge following thoracic surgery, addressing the critical issue of postoperative opioid dependence. Dr. Gross has also contributed to the surgical literature with a comprehensive narrative review on bronchogenic cysts. With his most-cited paper accumulating 32 citations, his research is shaping modern thoracic surgical practice by promoting faster recovery, reduced opioid use, and improved patient outcomes through evidence-based protocol implementation.
