About
Alisha R. Bonaroti is a reconstructive surgeon whose work sits at the critical intersection of minimally invasive surgery and complex perineal reconstruction. Her key research areas include flap-based reconstruction, surgical innovation in pelvic surgery, and the optimization of patient outcomes following oncologic resections. Her most notable contribution, the highly cited 2017 paper "Laparoscopic Harvest of the Rectus Abdominis for Perineal Reconstruction," addresses a fundamental surgical challenge: while laparoscopic and robotic techniques for abdominoperineal resection (APR) reduce morbidity, the traditional open harvest of the rectus abdominis flap—a workhorse for perineal reconstruction—negates those benefits. By pioneering a laparoscopic approach to flap harvest, Bonaroti’s work has helped preserve the advantages of minimally invasive surgery for patients undergoing these complex procedures. With over a decade of clinical and academic impact, her research has shaped how surgeons approach pelvic reconstruction. Bonaroti’s contributions continue to influence the evolution of reconstructive surgery, demonstrating a commitment to reducing surgical trauma while maintaining reconstructive excellence.
