About

Henning A. Gaissert is a leading figure in general thoracic surgery, with a research focus on advancing minimally invasive techniques and improving surgical outcomes for esophageal and lung cancer. His major contributions include pioneering work on robotic esophagectomy, where his analysis of US trends and early outcomes (23 citations) has helped define the safety and efficacy of this complex procedure. He has also been instrumental in validating new technologies, such as ultrasonic energy for sealing pulmonary artery branches during video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy, as demonstrated in a prospective, multicenter phase 2 trial (23 citations). Beyond individual studies, Gaissert has played a key role in shaping the field through his leadership in the Society of Thoracic Surgeons General Thoracic Surgery Database, authoring annual updates (2017, 2018) that guide evidence-based practice and research. With a career marked by rigorous clinical investigation and a commitment to data-driven innovation, his work has directly influenced modern thoracic surgical standards, earning him recognition as a trusted authority in the specialty.
