About
J. L. A. Borges is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of immersive technologies and thoracic surgery, whose work has redefined preoperative planning for lung cancer treatment. His primary research areas encompass virtual reality (VR), mixed reality (MR), and augmented reality (AR), applied specifically to video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and robotic VATS (RVATS) for anatomic pulmonary resections. Borges’s major contribution lies in demonstrating how three-dimensional (3D) visualization tools can enhance surgeons’ spatial understanding of complex patient anatomy, thereby improving the precision and safety of minimally invasive procedures. His seminal 2018 paper on this topic has garnered 25 citations, reflecting its influence in both surgical and technological communities. Notably, Borges has been instrumental in bridging the gap between cutting-edge immersive interfaces and clinical practice, offering a framework for integrating VR, MR, and AR into routine surgical planning. His work not only advances patient outcomes but also sets the stage for future innovations in medical training and intraoperative guidance, making him a key figure in the evolution of digital surgery.
