About

Jenny Bui is a rising surgical researcher whose work focuses on refining minimally invasive thoracic and foregut procedures. Her key research areas include optimizing lymph node harvest during lung cancer surgery and comparing surgical approaches for paraesophageal hernia repair. In a 2025 statewide quality collaborative study, Bui evaluated lymph node yield in sublobar resections, contributing critical data to the debate over oncologic adequacy in early-stage lung cancer treatment. That work has already garnered early citations, signaling its relevance to practicing surgeons. Her most notable contribution is a high-volume, single-institution analysis comparing robotic-assisted laparoscopic, standard laparoscopic, and transthoracic approaches for paraesophageal hernia repair. Bui’s study demonstrated that the robotic approach achieves the short-term benefits of laparoscopy—such as reduced morbidity—while also offering lower long-term recurrence rates, potentially bridging the gap between the two established techniques. With two papers published in 2025 and a growing citation footprint, Bui is establishing herself as a methodical investigator committed to evidence-based improvements in surgical quality and patient outcomes. Her work is especially valuable for trainees and researchers interested in the intersection of surgical oncology, robotics, and health services research.
