About
Michael Mazzei is a surgical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of minimally invasive surgery, robotic-assisted techniques, and outcomes-based research in bariatric and thoracic surgery. His most influential contributions have focused on rigorously comparing robotic-assisted approaches against conventional laparoscopic methods using the large-scale Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP) database — a methodological strength that lends significant statistical power to his findings. His 2019 studies on primary and revisional bariatric surgery outcomes, garnering 85 and 50 citations respectively, have become important references for surgeons navigating the evolving landscape of robotic adoption. Beyond bariatrics, Mazzei has championed robotic-assisted thoracic surgery, arguing compellingly for its broader adoption across both simple and complex lung resections, a paper that has attracted 45 citations since 2020. Notably, his research extends into health equity, with dedicated investigations into perioperative outcomes among elderly patients and racial and ethnic minority populations undergoing bariatric procedures — work that addresses critical gaps in surgical literature. Collectively, his scholarship, totaling over 230 citations, positions him as a meaningful voice in advancing evidence-based, equitable minimally invasive surgical care.
