About
Dr. John S. Sampalis is a leading figure in clinical epidemiology and surgical outcomes research, with a particular focus on thoracic surgery and evidence-based medicine. His work has significantly advanced the safety and efficacy of minimally invasive procedures, most notably through his leadership in a prospective, multicenter, international phase 2 trial evaluating ultrasonic energy for pulmonary artery branch sealing during video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy. This landmark 2019 study, which has garnered 23 citations, provided critical data on the reliability of energy-based vessel sealing, helping to reduce intraoperative complications and expand the use of VATS for lung cancer patients. Beyond this, Dr. Sampalis has made substantial contributions to health technology assessment, clinical trial design, and the evaluation of medical devices, often bridging the gap between rigorous research and practical surgical application. His work is widely cited by surgeons and epidemiologists alike, reflecting its impact on improving patient outcomes and surgical standards. Dr. Sampalis’s dedication to multicenter collaboration and methodological rigor continues to shape best practices in thoracic surgery and clinical research.
