About
Janani Reisenauer is a leading physician-researcher specializing in minimally invasive thoracic diagnostics, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted bronchoscopy and pulmonary nodule evaluation. Her work has been instrumental in advancing shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (SSRAB) as a transformative tool for diagnosing peripheral pulmonary lesions, including challenging subsolid and pleural-based nodules. Her highly cited 2021 paper on the Ion™ Endoluminal System (101 citations) helped establish the foundational technology and techniques for this emerging field, while her multicenter studies and the landmark PRECISE trial have rigorously validated SSRAB's diagnostic performance in real-world clinical settings. Reisenauer's comparative research pitting robotic bronchoscopy against CT-guided transthoracic biopsy (91 citations) has directly informed clinical decision-making for lung cancer diagnosis. A particularly innovative contribution combines SSRAB with mobile 3D imaging to overcome CT-to-body divergence, improving diagnostic yield (80 citations). Her provocatively titled 2024 piece, "The Death of Laparoscopy" (63 citations), signals broader interests in surgical innovation. Collectively, her portfolio reflects a sustained commitment to improving early lung cancer detection through precision, minimally invasive approaches that reduce patient risk while maximizing diagnostic accuracy.
