About
Najah Khan is a pioneering surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques in thoracic and foregut surgery. Her work has significantly shaped the understanding of robotic and endoscopic approaches, particularly in the management of esophageal motility disorders and complex pulmonary resections. In her highly cited 2019 study, Khan demonstrated that robotic and per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) result in fewer technical complications compared to the traditional laparoscopic Heller myotomy, a finding that has influenced clinical practice and garnered 57 citations. She is also recognized for her innovative contributions to thoracic surgery, including the development of the “Five on a Dice” port placement strategy, which enabled a successful robot-assisted left pneumonectomy in a patient with dual primary lung tumors. This technical achievement, published in 2017, showcases her ability to adapt emerging technologies for complex cases. With a career dedicated to refining surgical precision and improving patient outcomes, Khan’s work continues to inspire advances in robotic surgery, making her a notable figure in the field.
