About
Matthew Kelecy is a reconstructive microsurgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive techniques in pelvic reconstruction, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted surgery. His major contributions lie in demonstrating the feasibility, safety, and efficiency of the robotic rectus abdominis myoperitoneal flap, a modern evolution of the traditional open workhorse flap. Kelecy’s research shows that by integrating a third surgeon into the robotic setup, operative times can be reduced without compromising outcomes, effectively addressing a key barrier to the adoption of robotic approaches. His 2025 studies, each garnering 2 citations, provide early but critical evidence that robotic harvest can lower donor-site morbidity while maintaining reconstructive reliability for complex defects, including posterior vaginal wall reconstruction. By systematically evaluating these technical refinements, Kelecy is helping to shift the reconstructive paradigm, offering patients the benefits of less invasive surgery without sacrificing flap versatility. His work is particularly valuable for plastic and gynecologic surgeons seeking to incorporate robotic techniques into their practice, and it positions him as a rising voice in the field of robotic reconstructive surgery.
