Ints Siliņš

Ints Siliņš serves as an Acting Lecturer in the Department of Surgery with active research contributions spanning 2011-2024. His expertise centers on thoracic surgical oncology, specializing in minimally invasive lung cancer treatments through video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) techniques.

Research focuses prominently on lung cancer surgical management, including histological subtype analysis, inflammatory biomarker evaluation during VATS versus open lobectomy, and innovative parenchyma-sparing resection methods. His work addresses critical areas such as postoperative complications, surgical approach optimization, and neoplasm resection strategies, directly contributing to UN Sustainable Development Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-being) through clinical medicine advancements.

Publication trends reveal consistent progression from foundational histological studies (2011) through comparative biochemical analyses (2012-2013) to cutting-edge uniportal VATS techniques (2024), demonstrating evolving technical refinement in lung-sparing procedures. His 2015 contribution to neuroendocrine tumor guidelines underscores clinical translation of research findings.

Professional engagement includes active membership in the European Society of Thoracic Surgeons since 2018 as a delegated representative, alongside media contributions like the 2019 lung cancer awareness segment "Plaušu vēzis".
