Get to Know Dr. Mark Dylewski

Dr. Mark Dylewski is director of thoracic and robotic surgery at Baptist Health South Florida. He is an innovator whose minimally invasive techniques often lead to better outcomes and quicker surgical recoveries for his patients.

He is best known for the “Dylewski Technique,” a procedure he helped pioneer using advanced robotics to remove parts of a diseased lung without cutting or spreading the ribs.

Dylewski treats patients with lung cancer, esophageal cancer and pleural mesothelioma, some of whom can benefit immensely from this type of treatment procedure. He has trained younger surgeons to follow in his footsteps.

The Miami Cancer Institute, which is part of Baptist Health South Florida, created a cardiac and thoracic surgery branch in 2009, moving Dylewski into a leadership role.

He is a firm believer in multidisciplinary treatment for mesothelioma that often includes a combination of chemotherapy, radiation and immunotherapy.
