Dr. Celestino Castañón is a fourth-year general surgery resident at LSU. Originally from Sonora, Mexico, he completed his undergraduate studies at Georgetown University before earning his medical degree from the Medical College of Wisconsin in 2022. He is applying to cardiothoracic surgery fellowship this cycle, and his clinical interests include minimally-invasive valve repair and robotic-assisted coronary revascularization.
His research interests focus on the practical applications and integration of artificial intelligence with avanced imaging technology to address challenges in pre-operative surgical planning and in surgical education. Speficially, main areas of interest include the use of automated Al assisted segmentation of CT images for advanced 3D reconstruction for pre-operative planning in chest wall reconstruction and complex mitral valve repair, development of hands-on surgical simulators for cardiac surgery training, and leveraging AI technology to improve trauma critical care protocol adherence and resident education onboarding.
