Felix Dobritoiu

Felix Dobritoiu is a thoracic surgery specialist at Ponderas Academic Hospital in Bucharest. He treats adults and children using minimally invasive and robotic procedures. He uses the da Vinci Xi system to perform operations through tiny incisions. This method helps patients recover faster after surgery.

Specialization and Surgical Methods

Dr. Dobritoiu uses modern surgical approaches that lead to faster patient recovery. He performs video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and uniportal VATS techniques. In specific cases, he performs procedures that do not require postoperative pleural drainage. This approach reduces physical trauma and shortens hospital stays.

The specialist treats various conditions, including:

• Lung cancer, including stage 4
• Thymoma and adenocarcinoma
• Thyroid cancer
• Complex mediastinal tumors

His surgical expertise covers a wide range of thoracic operations:

• Robotic thoracic surgery with the da Vinci Xi system
• Complex pulmonary and mediastinal resections
• Pneumonectomy and lung segmentectomy
• Thyroidectomy and thymectomy
• Lymphadenectomy and lymph node dissection
• Sternochondroplasty using Nuss and reversed Nuss procedures — a surgery to correct chest wall deformities

Diagnostic Expertise

Dr. Dobritoiu incorporates diagnostic tools into his clinical practice. He performs mediastinoscopy and bronchoscopy to evaluate the chest cavity. He also conducts lung biopsies to identify thoracic malignancies. Furthermore, he coordinates care using imaging like PET/CT and thoracic CT scans.

Work Experience

The doctor has practiced as a thoracic surgeon since 2015. He currently serves at Ponderas Academic Hospital in Romania. This facility is a JCI-accredited Robotic Surgery Center of Excellence. Dr. Dobritoiu treats thoracic cases at this center.
