About

Stevan S. Pupovac is a pioneering thoracic surgeon whose work sits at the intersection of robotic-assisted surgery and pulmonary oncology. His research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques for complex thoracic procedures, particularly through the use of robotic platforms. Pupovac’s most cited work, "Robotic-Assisted First Rib Resection: Our Experience and Review of the Literature" (2020, 22 citations), establishes him as a key contributor to the refinement of robotic approaches for challenging anatomical resections. He has also made significant strides in improving lung cancer diagnostics, as demonstrated in his 2017 study on the "Benefits of Electromagnetic Navigational Bronchoscopy for Identifying Pulmonary Nodules for Robotic Resections" (5 citations), which addresses the critical challenge of localizing small or ground-glass nodules during robotic surgery. His recent work, "How to robotically take down a mammary artery" (2024, 1 citation), further showcases his commitment to advancing surgical education and technique. With a career dedicated to merging cutting-edge technology with patient-centered outcomes, Pupovac’s contributions are shaping the future of thoracic surgery, offering safer, more precise options for patients with complex pulmonary and vascular conditions.
