About

Leila Harhaus is a pioneering figure in reconstructive microsurgery, with a focused expertise in robotic-assisted peripheral nerve surgery and bionic reconstruction. Her major contributions lie at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and clinical application, where she has systematically investigated the technical strategies, learning curves, and clinical outcomes of robotic platforms for microsurgical nerve coaptation. Notably, her 2024 study on the largest patient collective in robotic-assisted peripheral nerve surgery (17 citations) provides foundational technical guidance for the field. She also led the first in-human project combining robotic microsurgery with targeted muscle reinnervation—a landmark achievement in bionic reconstruction. Through cross-sectional surveys comparing user and nonuser perceptions of robotic microsurgical systems, Harhaus has critically assessed the realistic advantages and limitations of these technologies, directly informing their broader clinical adoption. Her work not only advances surgical precision and ergonomics but also shapes the future of reconstructive surgery by bridging robotic innovation with patient-centered outcomes. With growing citation impact and a clear translational focus, Harhaus is a leading voice in the evolution of microsurgery and bionic medicine.
