About
Marc P. Michalsky is a pioneering pediatric surgeon whose research sits at the intersection of minimally invasive surgical innovation, pediatric bariatric medicine, and perioperative care. His body of work has significantly advanced the understanding and application of robotic-assisted surgery in children, with landmark comparative studies examining robotic versus laparoscopic approaches for procedures including splenectomy, cholecystectomy, and sleeve gastrectomy — collectively accumulating over 150 citations. Michalsky has been instrumental in establishing evidence-based frameworks for robotic surgical adoption across pediatric centers, including a widely cited national trends analysis demonstrating the growing utilization of robotic platforms in tertiary children's hospitals. His contributions extend meaningfully into adolescent bariatric surgery, where he has investigated complex pharmacokinetic questions surrounding acetaminophen dosing in severely obese youth and evaluated noninvasive blood pressure monitoring technologies in high-risk operative settings. A particularly notable achievement includes his work on simultaneous robotic-assisted bladder and bowel reconstruction in patients with neurogenic conditions, highlighting his commitment to complex reconstructive innovation. Through his research on Enhanced Recovery After Surgery protocols and anesthetic considerations specific to pediatric robotic procedures, Michalsky continues shaping safer, more effective surgical care for some of medicine's most vulnerable patients.
