About
Dr. Malcolm Will is a pioneering thoracic surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for lung cancer treatment. His primary research area is the development and refinement of videoscopic-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS), with a particular focus on reducing surgical trauma and improving patient recovery. Dr. Will’s most significant contribution is the introduction of "microlobectomy," a novel form of endoscopic lobectomy that dramatically minimizes incision size. His landmark 2017 paper, which has garnered 23 citations, defines strict inclusion criteria for this procedure, including no intercostal incisions greater than 5 mm, a 12 mm subxiphoid port, and total endoscopic technique with CO2 insufflation. This work represents a paradigm shift in thoracic surgery, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in ultra-minimally invasive lung resection. By challenging conventional approaches, Dr. Will has laid the groundwork for a future where major lung surgeries can be performed with unprecedented precision and minimal physical impact on the patient, marking him as a true innovator in his field.
