About

Joshua J. Goldman is a reconstructive surgeon whose work bridges plastic surgery, urology, and gynecologic oncology, with a focus on pelvic reconstruction and minimally invasive flap harvest. His most cited paper, "Reducing Complications and Expanding Use of Robotic Rectus Abdominis Muscle Harvest for Pelvic Reconstruction" (2022, 20 citations), addresses a critical challenge in perineal reconstruction: the high morbidity associated with traditional open harvest of the rectus abdominis flap. By pioneering a robotic approach that avoids a large external incision and preserves the anterior rectus sheath, Goldman has demonstrated a significant reduction in donor-site complications while expanding the applicability of this workhorse flap. This work is notable for its technical innovation and potential to improve outcomes in complex pelvic reconstructions, often in patients with prior radiation or oncologic resections. With growing interest in minimally invasive reconstructive techniques, Goldman’s contributions are shaping the future of flap surgery, offering patients safer, less morbid options. His research continues to influence both surgical practice and the training of reconstructive surgeons.
