About
Fayez Kheir is a leading interventional pulmonologist whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques for diagnosing peripheral pulmonary nodules (PPNs), particularly through the integration of shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (ssRAB) and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). His major contributions center on improving diagnostic yields for small and challenging lung nodules, a critical area in early lung cancer detection. In his landmark multicentre study (2023, 39 citations), Kheir demonstrated that combining CBCT with ssRAB significantly enhances real-time nodule localization and sampling accuracy, addressing historical difficulties with nodules under 2 cm. His comparative analysis (2024, 21 citations) further established that CBCT-guided ssRAB outperforms electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) in diagnostic yield, offering a more precise and reliable tool for clinicians. With over 60 citations across his most-cited works, Kheir’s research has shaped modern bronchoscopic practice, providing evidence that real-time imaging integration can overcome the limitations of traditional navigation. His work is widely referenced by pulmonologists and thoracic surgeons seeking to optimize nodule sampling, and he continues to be a key voice in the evolution of robotic bronchoscopy.
