About

Travis C. Geraci is a thoracic surgeon and researcher whose work has significantly advanced the field of minimally invasive and robotic thoracic surgery. His research centers on robotic pulmonary resection, intraoperative imaging technologies, and optimizing perioperative outcomes for patients with lung and thoracic malignancies. Geraci has made particularly notable contributions to the integration of near-infrared fluorescence imaging and indocyanine green (ICG) into robotic surgery, developing techniques that allow surgeons to precisely localize small, subsolid, or deeply situated pulmonary nodules that are otherwise difficult to identify — work that has garnered nearly 80 combined citations across two landmark 2019 papers. His research on navigational bronchoscopy paired with robotic segmentectomy represents a meaningful leap forward in surgical precision for early-stage lung cancer. Beyond imaging innovation, Geraci has pushed boundaries in procedural complexity, publishing influential work on robotic sleeve resections, extended pulmonary resections, and robotic thymectomy for malignant disease. His 2021 study demonstrating the feasibility of same-day discharge after robotic anatomic resection reflects his commitment to enhancing patient recovery. With over 225 total citations across his most impactful work, Geraci has established himself as a leading voice in the evolution of robotic thoracic surgery.
