Summary
- Dr. Servais is a board-certified general thoracic surgeon with expertise in diseases of the chest and abdomen. He has particular interest in thoracic oncology (including cancers of the lungs, esophagus, mediastinum, pleura, and chest wall) and esophageal motility disorders (gastroesophageal reflux, paraesophageal/hiatal hernia, and achalasia).
Dr. Servais uses minimally-invasive surgical techniques such as laparoscopy, thoracoscopy or VATS, and has expertise in robotic surgery to minimize pain and post-operative recovery time, while optimizing oncologic and functional outcomes.
Dr. Servais is one of the highest volume robotic thoracic surgeons in the region performing operations such as robotic lobectomy for lung cancer and robotic minimally invasive esophagectomy for esophageal cancer.
Dr. Servais also has expertise in advanced endoscopic and bronchoscopic techniques such as endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) and per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) for achalasia.
Dr. Servais' research interests include:
-Biomarker discovery and evaluation for early detection and therapeutic response in lung and esophageal cancer
-Evaluation of targeted therapies in thoracic malignancies
-Clinical outcomes research in thoracic surgery
