About

Dr. Alexandra McLennan is a pioneering surgeon-researcher at the forefront of robotic microsurgery and supermicrosurgery, with a specific focus on advancing autologous breast reconstruction. Her work centers on the integration of robotic technology into highly precise surgical techniques, particularly the robotic harvest of the deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap. Dr. McLennan’s major contributions include systematically evaluating the evolution and clinical outcomes of robotic DIEP flap surgery, demonstrating its potential to enhance precision and reduce morbidity in breast reconstruction. Her 2024 systematic review on this topic has already garnered 15 citations, underscoring its immediate impact on the field. Additionally, her 2023 review on robotics in microsurgery and supermicrosurgery, with 10 citations, provides a foundational overview of how robotic assistance is transforming the manipulation of sub-millimeter structures. Through these works, Dr. McLennan is shaping the next generation of surgical practice, bridging the gap between traditional microsurgical expertise and cutting-edge robotic innovation. Her research is essential reading for surgeons and trainees interested in the future of minimally invasive, high-precision reconstructive surgery.
