About
Delphine Trousse is a French thoracic surgeon whose research sits at the intersection of minimally invasive lung surgery, perioperative pain management, and patient safety. Working predominantly within the French thoracic surgery community, she has made meaningful contributions to understanding how surgical approach — whether open thoracotomy, video-assisted (VATS), or robotic-assisted (RATS) techniques — affects postoperative outcomes and recovery. Her most influential work, a 2018 propensity score-matched study accumulating 23 citations, rigorously compared postoperative morphine consumption between robotic and video-assisted lung resection, providing clinicians with valuable analgesic guidance as robotic platforms gained wider adoption. Building on this foundation, her 2023 investigation into surgeon-performed paravertebral blocks (18 citations) offered a practical solution to pain-control challenges in resource-variable settings, demonstrating that thoracic surgeons themselves can effectively deliver this critical analgesia technique. Her analyses using the comprehensive French Epithor national database have further illuminated real-world outcomes across surgical approaches for lung cancer, while her work on patient safety incidents and postoperative urinary retention reflects a commitment to holistic perioperative care. Trousse's body of work collectively advances safer, less painful thoracic surgery for lung cancer patients.
