About
Dr. Mark W. Maxfield is a pioneering cardiothoracic surgeon whose work centers on robotic-assisted thoracic surgery, surgical education, and patient safety. His major contributions include advancing minimally invasive techniques for complex conditions, such as the largest reported cohort of robot-assisted thoracoscopic mediastinal parathyroidectomies (14 citations). He has also developed innovative programs like the Robotic One Anesthetic Diagnosis and Treatment (ROADAT) protocol for lung cancer, which streamlines diagnosis and treatment in a single procedure (5 citations). Notably, Dr. Maxfield is a leader in simulation-based training, creating high-fidelity drills for emergent robotic surgery conversions (6 citations) and in-situ simulations to improve operating room team performance (13 citations). His work extends to medical education, where he integrates robotic surgery videos into first-year anatomy courses (1 citation) and surveys national residency training standards (1 citation). With a focus on safety, efficiency, and education, Dr. Maxfield’s research has shaped modern thoracic surgery, earning recognition for its clinical impact and innovative approach to training the next generation of surgeons.
