About
Dr. Li-Fen Chueh is a pioneering surgeon whose work sits at the intersection of oncologic surgery and advanced microsurgical reconstruction. Her primary research focuses on developing and refining minimally invasive techniques for breast cancer treatment, with a particular emphasis on robot-assisted mastectomy combined with immediate autologous free flap reconstruction. Her landmark 2019 paper, which has garnered 35 citations, systematically demonstrated the feasibility and technical nuances of this combined approach across three distinct breast cancer surgical scenarios—a contribution that has helped establish a new paradigm for single-stage, scar-sparing breast cancer surgery. By proving that robotic technology can facilitate both oncologic resection and microvascular reconstruction in a single operative setting, Dr. Chueh has directly addressed one of the most challenging aspects of breast cancer care: achieving optimal cosmetic outcomes without compromising oncologic safety. Her work has been instrumental in expanding the surgical armamentarium available to patients, particularly those seeking less invasive options. Through her meticulous documentation of surgical techniques and outcomes, she has provided a reproducible roadmap for other surgeons, thereby accelerating the adoption of these complex procedures and improving recovery experiences for women undergoing mastectomy.
