Biography

I have spent my entire career at NYU Langone, including my residency and training in general and cardiothoracic surgery, and am now chief of clinical thoracic surgery. I am very proud of the team we have built here. We have achieved a three-star ranking from The Society of Thoracic Surgeons for the use of lobectomy to treat lung cancer for three years in a row, which reflects our expertise, the number of patients we treat, and our meticulous attention to detail.

The Chinese Perspective: Uniportal VATS Right Upper Lobectomy

In recent years, China's thoracic surgery technology has developed rapidly, entering the era of minimal invasive precision and committed to promoting the standardization and precision of thoracic surgery. AIS specially invites the leading faculties in the field of thoracic surgery from China, Italy and the United States to share their academic expertise on the Uniportal VATS Right Upper Lobectomy surgery. Focusing on the operation, technical difficulties and innovation, AIS is offering a rich and diversified academic feast in the form of an explanatory operation video, case sharing and interactive discussion through the Telesurgeon Technology. Through a systematic approach, we can further explore surgical skills and learn difficult techniques, continuously improving the technical standards of thoracoscopic lobectomy in the world, so that the vast majority of patients can benefit.
