About
Dr. Gregory Fishberger is a surgical outcomes researcher whose work focuses on optimizing perioperative care in thoracic surgery, particularly robotic-assisted pulmonary lobectomy. His investigations center on two key areas: preoperative risk stratification and postoperative complications. Dr. Fishberger’s major contributions include demonstrating that preoperative pulmonary function tests can predict perioperative outcomes after robotic lung resection, with his 2023 study on this topic accumulating 4 citations. He has also established a critical link between new-onset postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) and the perioperative inflammatory response, showing that this common arrhythmia is associated with elevated leukocyte levels and longer hospital stays following robotic-assisted lobectomy. His 2022 work on POAF, which has garnered 3 citations, provides valuable insights into the inflammatory mechanisms underlying this complication. By identifying modifiable risk factors and highlighting the prognostic value of routine laboratory markers, Dr. Fishberger’s research helps clinicians better anticipate and manage complications, ultimately improving recovery trajectories for patients undergoing minimally invasive thoracic surgery.
