About
Marion Durand is a pioneering thoracic surgeon whose work has been instrumental in advancing robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS), particularly for lung cancer and complex esophageal procedures. Her research focuses on defining the safety, efficacy, and learning curve of minimally invasive robotic techniques, with a strong emphasis on improving patient outcomes. Durand’s major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility and benefits of four-arm robotic lobectomy and segmentectomy, as well as performing the first comparative studies of RATS against video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and open thoracotomy. Her landmark study on the learning curve for robot-assisted McKeown esophagectomy (34 citations) and her analysis of the French Epithor database (5 citations) have provided crucial evidence for the adoption of robotic platforms in high-volume centers. With over 80 total citations, her work has shown that RATS can reduce complications and shorten recovery times. Notably, her 2024 report on the first 1,000 robotic procedures at her institution underscores her role as a leader in scaling this technology. Durand’s research continues to shape the future of minimally invasive thoracic oncology, making her a key voice in the field.
