About

Sudish C. Murthy is a leading thoracic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive and robotic surgical techniques for complex cardiothoracic conditions. His major contributions include demonstrating that robotic lobectomy achieves nodal upstaging comparable to open surgery for early-stage lung cancer—a critical metric for accurate staging and prognosis—while also pioneering robotic approaches for hyperparathyroidism and esophageal motility disorders. His comparative study of robotic versus laparoscopic Heller myotomy has helped define best practices for achalasia treatment. Beyond surgical innovation, Murthy investigates perioperative pain management, as evidenced by his randomized trial on fascial plane blocks for thoracic surgery, aiming to reduce opioid reliance. He has also reported on rare complications and neoplasms, such as esophagopulmonary fistula after fundoplication and pleural myopericytoma. With papers garnering up to 42 citations, his work influences both surgical technique and patient recovery protocols. Murthy’s research consistently addresses the balance between technological advancement and clinical necessity, earning him recognition as a thoughtful innovator in thoracic surgery.
