About
Patrick Maisonneuve is a pioneering surgical researcher whose work has fundamentally shaped the adoption and validation of robotic-assisted surgery across multiple oncological disciplines. His research has focused primarily on minimally invasive thoracic surgery, robotic lobectomy for lung cancer, and increasingly on robotic breast surgery, establishing him as a leading authority in the field of technology-driven surgical oncology. Maisonneuve's most influential contributions center on robotic lobectomy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with his foundational 2009 paper on four-arm robotic lobectomy accumulating over 300 citations and his 2011 long-term oncologic outcomes study drawing 271 citations — together representing landmark evidence supporting the technique's safety and efficacy. His decade-long institutional experience documented across multiple studies provided crucial data on learning curves, patient selection, and survival outcomes that guided surgeons worldwide. Beyond thoracic surgery, Maisonneuve has expanded his influence into robotic breast surgery, contributing a notable randomized controlled trial comparing robotic and open mastectomy techniques (100 citations), and into minimally invasive pancreatic procedures. His cumulative citation record reflects sustained, cross-disciplinary impact, making his body of work essential reading for surgeons and researchers navigating the evolving landscape of robotic oncological surgery.
