About

Dr. Jayshree Sood is a pioneering thoracic surgeon whose work has advanced minimally invasive approaches to lung cancer surgery in India. Her primary research focuses on robotic-assisted thoracic surgery, particularly lobectomy, and its comparative benefits over traditional open thoracotomy and video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). Her landmark paper, "Robotic lobectomy: The first Indian report" (2014), with 5 citations, established her as a trailblazer in introducing robotic techniques to the Indian surgical landscape. In this work, she demonstrated that robotic lobectomy offers reduced blood loss, less postoperative pain, and shorter hospital stays compared to open lobectomy, while maintaining the precision of VATS in expert hands. Dr. Sood’s contributions are particularly notable for bridging the gap between advanced global surgical standards and local practice, making complex thoracic procedures more accessible and safer. Her impact extends beyond citations; she has been instrumental in training the next generation of surgeons in robotic techniques, positioning India as a growing hub for minimally invasive thoracic surgery. Through her pioneering efforts, Dr. Sood continues to shape the future of lung cancer treatment, emphasizing innovation and patient-centered outcomes.
