About
Diego Gonzalez-Rivas is a pioneering thoracic surgeon whose work has fundamentally reshaped minimally invasive lung surgery. His primary research areas include uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) and the integration of robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) with single-port techniques. Gonzalez-Rivas is globally recognized for developing and refining the uniportal VATS approach for complex procedures like lobectomy and segmentectomy, dramatically reducing patient trauma and recovery times. His recent contributions focus on the next frontier: merging the dexterity of robotics with the minimal access of single-port surgery. In his 2025 study on the novel SHURUI Single-Port Serpentine-Arm Robotic Surgery System—China’s first domestically developed single-port endoscopic robotic platform—he demonstrated its safety and efficacy for lung surgery, marking a significant step in accessible, advanced robotic care. His work on single-port robotic-assisted lobectomy further establishes the feasibility of this emerging technology. With his papers already garnering early citations, Gonzalez-Rivas continues to drive innovation, positioning himself as a key architect of the future of thoracic surgery, where precision and patient outcomes converge.
