About
John P. Matonick is a translational researcher whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive interventions for thoracic disease, particularly through the integration of ablation technologies and robotic-assisted bronchoscopy. His major contributions center on the safety and feasibility of bronchoscopic microwave ablation (MWA) for peripheral lung lesions. In his most cited work, a 2023 study with 12 citations, Matonick led a preclinical assessment using a swine model to evaluate the NEUWAVE™ FLEX Microwave Ablation System combined with the MONARCH™ Platform for robotic-assisted bronchoscopy. This study provided critical safety data—including CT-guided assessment of ablation zones and complication rates—that supports the clinical translation of this technique for treating early-stage lung cancer. By systematically characterizing device performance and tissue response, Matonick’s research helps bridge the gap between emerging ablation technologies and their safe application in human patients. His work is particularly impactful for interventional pulmonologists and thoracic surgeons seeking to expand bronchoscopic treatment options, and it underscores his role in shaping the evidence base for robotic-assisted lung ablation.
