Thomas K. Maatman conducts clinical surgical research focused on diseases of the pancreas, liver, and bile ducts, with particular attention to necrotizing pancreatitis (severe inflammation causing pancreatic tissue death) and its surgical management. A second strand of the work examines urologic surgery outcomes, including treatment of kidney masses and prostate cancer, and quality-improvement topics such as opioid-free recovery and patient-reported outcomes. The research combines outcomes studies, national data analyses, and technical descriptions of surgical approaches.
