About

Dr. Michael Sohn is a pioneering surgeon whose work sits at the intersection of microsurgery, robotic technology, and gender-affirming care. His primary research focus is on advancing surgical techniques for complex reconstructive procedures, with a particular emphasis on genital gender-affirming masculinization surgeries. Dr. Sohn’s most notable contribution is his landmark 2024 paper on “Robotic-Assisted Microsurgery in Gender-Affirming Phalloplasty,” which has already garnered 3 citations in its first year—a strong signal of its immediate impact. In this work, he demonstrates the transformative value of the Symani Surgical System, a robotic platform that enables unprecedented precision in handling the small, deep vessels and nerves critical to phalloplasty. By overcoming the limitations of traditional manual microsurgery, Dr. Sohn’s research not only improves surgical outcomes but also expands access to these life-changing procedures. His work stands at the forefront of a new era in reconstructive surgery, merging cutting-edge robotics with compassionate, patient-centered care. For students and researchers, Dr. Sohn exemplifies how innovation can directly enhance both the technical and human dimensions of medicine.
