About
Dominique Gossot is a leading French thoracic surgeon whose work has fundamentally shaped modern minimally invasive lung surgery. His research centers on the technical refinement and safety of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), with a particular focus on complex sublobar resections for early-stage lung cancer. A key contribution is his detailed anatomical mapping of the bronchovascular variations encountered during thoracoscopic segmentectomies, a highly cited work (39 citations) that serves as an essential guide for surgeons navigating these intricate procedures. Gossot has also been instrumental in establishing the safety profile of VATS, evidenced by his development of the Epithor conversion score—a predictive tool to identify patient risk factors for conversion to thoracotomy. Beyond the operating room, he has advanced surgical education by leading an international Delphi consensus to prioritize simulation-based training for thoracic residents. His pioneering use of a motorized scope positioner for solo thoracoscopic surgery further highlights his commitment to innovation. With multiple papers exceeding 30 citations and leadership in large-scale multicenter studies on patient safety, Gossot’s work provides the evidence base that allows surgeons worldwide to perform safer, more precise, and less invasive lung cancer resections.
