I have 7 years of experience as an attending Thoracic Surgeon with over 700 major cases performed. I'm an expert in minimal invasive Thoracic Surgery and I have performed more than 100 VATS-Lobectomies and more than 400 minimal invasive mediastinal staging, EBUS. I've consistently demonstrated superior expertise in surgical techniques, with a dedication to perfection, excellence, and optimal patient care. My experience has exposed me to a variety of diverse conditions and their treatments. I have the ability to perform under high stress environments, and have good communication and interpersonal skills. I contribute to a positive setting conducive to effective patient care. I was not only the person who introduced VATS-Lobectomy to The Department of Thoracic Surgery, Odense University Hospital, I was also among the group who established The Center of Excellence for Minimal Invasive Thoracic Surgery at Odense University Hospital.
