About
Van-Dinh Phan is a pioneering neurosurgeon whose work sits at the intersection of advanced surgical robotics and complex cranial pathology. His primary research focuses on the application of cutting-edge digital visualization systems—specifically the Synaptive Modus V robotic exoscope—to enhance the safety and radicality of tumor resections in the cerebellopontine angle. Phan’s most cited work, a 2023 case report detailing the radical resection of a large trigeminal schwannoma, demonstrates his commitment to pushing the boundaries of minimally invasive neurosurgery. In this landmark study, which has already garnered 6 citations, he meticulously describes the use of the robotic exoscope to achieve gross total removal of a 4.8 cm lesion while preserving critical neurovascular structures in a 67-year-old patient presenting with progressive cranial nerve deficits. This contribution is notable not only for its technical precision but for establishing a reproducible protocol for high-risk skull base surgeries. Phan’s research is profoundly impactful for students and clinicians alike, offering a roadmap for integrating robotic assistance into routine practice to improve patient outcomes and reduce operative morbidity.
