About

Dr. John Brosious is a reconstructive surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques in pelvic and perineal reconstruction, with a particular emphasis on robotic-assisted flap harvest. His most cited work, "Reducing Complications and Expanding Use of Robotic Rectus Abdominis Muscle Harvest for Pelvic Reconstruction" (2022, 20 citations), addresses a critical challenge in the field: the high morbidity associated with traditional open harvest of the rectus abdominis flap, a workhorse in perineal reconstruction. By demonstrating that a robotic approach can minimize violation of the anterior rectus sheath and eliminate the need for a large external incision, Brosious has helped expand the applicability of this vital reconstructive option while reducing postoperative complications. His contributions are particularly impactful for patients undergoing complex pelvic oncologic or trauma reconstruction, where preserving abdominal wall integrity is paramount. Though early in his career, Brosious’s work signals a meaningful shift toward safer, less invasive reconstructive paradigms—an area with growing relevance as robotic platforms become more widespread in plastic surgery.
