About

Eveline Internullo is a leading figure in thoracic surgery, whose research has fundamentally shaped the practice of minimally invasive pulmonary resections. Her seminal 2008 work, "The Variability of Practice in Minimally Invasive Thoracic Surgery for Pulmonary Resections," which has garnered over 120 citations, critically analyzed the diverse surgical techniques emerging at the time, establishing a crucial framework for standardizing and optimizing patient outcomes. This landmark study highlighted the need for rigorous comparative effectiveness research in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), directly influencing how surgeons approach lobectomies and segmentectomies. Beyond this core contribution, Internullo’s broader body of work has systematically addressed key challenges in thoracic oncology, from refining perioperative care to evaluating long-term survival benefits of minimally invasive approaches. Her research is characterized by a meticulous, evidence-based methodology that bridges the gap between surgical innovation and clinical reality. For students and researchers, Internullo’s legacy is a testament to the power of systematic inquiry in a rapidly evolving surgical field, demonstrating how a single, highly cited paper can catalyze a generation of safer, more effective procedures for lung cancer patients.
