About

Diep Nguyen is a thoracic surgeon and clinical researcher whose work focuses on optimizing perioperative outcomes in robotic-assisted pulmonary surgery. Her key research areas include preoperative risk assessment, postoperative complications, and the inflammatory response following minimally invasive lung resections. In her 2023 study on preoperative pulmonary function and perioperative outcomes after robotic-assisted pulmonary lobectomy (4 citations), Nguyen demonstrated how lung function metrics can predict surgical risk, helping to refine patient selection for robotic procedures. Her 2022 investigation into new-onset postoperative atrial fibrillation (3 citations) was particularly notable for establishing a link between this common arrhythmia and the perioperative inflammatory response, as measured by leukocyte and prealbumin levels. This work revealed that POAF is associated with longer hospital stays, providing clinicians with actionable biomarkers to identify high-risk patients. Nguyen’s research contributes to the growing evidence base for robotic thoracic surgery, offering practical insights that improve patient safety and recovery. Her studies are valuable resources for surgeons and anesthesiologists seeking to reduce complications in pulmonary lobectomy.
