About

Gregory A. Wasserman is a pioneering thoracic surgeon whose work has significantly advanced the field of minimally invasive and robotic-assisted thoracic surgery. His research is primarily focused on tracheobronchoplasty — a complex surgical procedure used to treat tracheobronchomalacia — with a particular emphasis on optimizing outcomes through robotic-assisted techniques. Wasserman's landmark 2021 study on robotic-assisted tracheobronchoplasty, which has garnered 19 citations, demonstrated meaningful improvements in quality of life and pulmonary function at intermediate follow-up, helping to establish the robotic approach as a credible and effective surgical option. Building on this work, his 2022 publications further refined the technique and confirmed postoperative lung function improvements in patients with moderate to severe airway obstruction. Beyond airway surgery, Wasserman has also contributed to the management of rare and surgically challenging conditions, including the minimally invasive robotic excision of aortopulmonary mediastinal paragangliomas — notoriously difficult tumors given their proximity to major vessels. His body of work reflects a consistent commitment to expanding the boundaries of robotic thoracic surgery, improving patient outcomes, and providing the surgical community with reproducible, evidence-based techniques.
