About
Margaret S. Roubaud is a leading reconstructive surgeon whose work bridges the critical intersection of oncology and plastic surgery, with a specialized focus on restoring function and quality of life after complex cancer resections. Her primary research areas include pelvic and peripelvic reconstruction, microsurgical techniques, and patient-reported outcomes in oncologic surgery. Roubaud’s major contribution lies in her systematic approach to managing female peripelvic defects following oncologic extirpation—a notoriously challenging area due to the interplay of neoadjuvant chemoradiation, complex anatomy, and high wound healing risks. Her landmark 2024 paper, "Contemporary role of the plastic and reconstructive surgeon in the outcome of female peripelvic defects after oncologic extirpation," has already garnered early citations, signaling its foundational impact. In this work, she emphasizes that functional restoration demands more than technical closure; it requires thoughtful, multidisciplinary planning centered on defect reconstruction and patient-reported outcomes. Roubaud’s research is reshaping how surgical teams approach these devastating defects, advocating for the reconstructive surgeon as an integral member of the oncologic team from the outset. Her work is essential reading for trainees and practitioners in surgical oncology, plastic surgery, and pelvic medicine.
