About
Dr. Heba Al Khashnam is a pioneering breast surgeon whose work sits at the intersection of oncologic safety and aesthetic innovation. Her primary research focuses on minimally invasive breast surgery, particularly robotic-assisted techniques for breast cancer treatment and prevention. She is best known for her landmark 2017 paper, "Robotic da Vinci Xi-assisted nipple-sparing mastectomy: First clinical report," which has garnered 55 citations and established her as a leader in the field. This work demonstrated the feasibility of performing nipple-sparing mastectomy using the da Vinci Xi robotic system, offering patients reduced scarring and improved cosmetic outcomes without compromising oncologic principles. Dr. Al Khashnam's contributions have helped shift the paradigm toward less invasive approaches in breast surgery, addressing critical patient concerns about surgical scarring and esthetic results. Her research has been instrumental in advancing the concept of minimally invasive mastectomy, making her a sought-after expert in robotic breast surgery. With her innovative work, she continues to shape the future of breast cancer treatment, balancing aggressive disease control with quality-of-life considerations.
