About
Patricio Santillan Dohetty is a pioneering thoracic surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive techniques for complex lung cancer resections. His major contributions lie in refining robotic-assisted sleeve lobectomies—a demanding procedure that preserves lung function in patients with centrally located tumors. Notably, his research explores the integration of spontaneous ventilation and double-lumen intubation during uniportal robotic surgery, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in thoracic oncology. His most-cited paper, a 2025 case series and narrative review, has already garnered attention for demonstrating the feasibility and safety of these combined approaches, offering patients better functional outcomes without compromising oncological rigor. This work underscores his commitment to reducing surgical trauma and accelerating recovery. With a growing citation footprint, Santillan Dohetty is recognized as an innovator at the intersection of robotics and respiratory physiology, shaping the future of lung-sparing surgery. His achievements highlight a dedication to translating technical complexity into accessible, patient-centered care, making him a notable figure in the evolution of thoracic surgery.
