About
Malke Asaad is a surgeon-scientist at the forefront of integrating artificial intelligence and robotics into plastic and reconstructive surgery. Her research centers on the ethical, legal, and financial implications of AI in surgical practice, as well as the development of novel robotic-assisted techniques. Her most cited work, "Ethical, Legal, and Financial Considerations of Artificial Intelligence in Surgery" (2022, 61 citations), critically examines the challenges posed by machine learning in high-stakes medical decisions, establishing her as a leading voice on AI governance in surgery. Asaad also made a landmark contribution to robotic plastic surgery through a prospective pilot study on robotic-assisted latissimus dorsi muscle harvest (2022, 11 citations). Conducted under an FDA Investigational Device Exemption, this study was the first to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of a robotic approach for FDA approval in plastic surgery—a pivotal step toward expanding indications for robotic systems. Her work bridges cutting-edge technology with rigorous regulatory science, shaping the future of surgical innovation.
