About
Rui Haddad is a pioneering Brazilian thoracic surgeon whose research sits at the intersection of robotic surgery, minimally invasive techniques, and advanced imaging technologies for the treatment of lung cancer and other thoracic conditions. His most widely cited work explores the transformative role of virtual, mixed, and augmented reality in surgical planning for thoracoscopic anatomic resections, demonstrating how immersive three-dimensional visualization can enhance operative precision — a paper that has garnered 25 citations since 2018. Haddad has been instrumental in establishing robotic video-assisted thoracic surgery (R-VATS) in Brazil, authoring multiple foundational studies on robotic anatomic segmentectomy, thymoma resection, and the management of non-small cell lung cancer, collectively accumulating over 50 citations. His work documenting the growth of large robotic thoracic surgery programs in an emerging healthcare context has positioned him as a leading voice on technology adoption in Latin America. More recently, his investigation into the learning curve of robotic thoracic surgery underscores his commitment to training and program development. Haddad's body of work has meaningfully shaped how robotic and immersive technologies are integrated into thoracic surgical practice across Brazil and beyond.
