About
Brandon S. Hendriksen is a surgical outcomes researcher whose work focuses on the intersection of minimally invasive surgery, oncology, and perioperative risk. His primary research areas include thoracic and gastrointestinal oncology, with a particular emphasis on the real-world impact of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and robotic-assisted approaches. Hendriksen’s most influential work, "The Impact of Minimally Invasive Gastrectomy on Survival in the USA" (24 citations), provides critical evidence on survival outcomes for gastric cancer patients, challenging assumptions about the oncologic equivalence of minimally invasive techniques. He has also made significant contributions to understanding surgical conversion risk, notably in "Minimally Invasive Lobectomy Modality and Other Predictors of Conversion to Thoracotomy" (15 citations), which identifies key risk factors that guide preoperative planning. His statewide analyses of readmission patterns after lobectomy (3 citations) offer valuable insights into quality improvement in an era of rapidly evolving surgical technology. Through these studies, Hendriksen has helped shape safer, more evidence-based adoption of minimally invasive approaches in complex oncologic surgery.
