About
Dr. Michel Samson is a pioneering figure in microsurgical breast reconstruction, best known for advancing robotic-assisted techniques to enhance patient outcomes. His key research areas include minimally invasive surgery, microvascular free-flap reconstruction, and the application of robotic technology in plastic surgery. Dr. Samson’s major contribution is the development of robotic harvest of internal mammary vessels, a technique that allows surgeons to obtain a recipient pedicle for free-flap breast reconstruction through minimal-access incisions. In his landmark 2006 study, he demonstrated this approach in 22 consecutive cases, achieving pedicle lengths of up to 10 cm with reduced donor-site morbidity. This work, cited 39 times, has been instrumental in refining reconstructive options for breast cancer patients. Dr. Samson’s innovations have not only expanded the role of robotics in plastic surgery but also improved recovery and aesthetic outcomes. His dedication to merging surgical precision with patient-centered care continues to inspire researchers and clinicians in the field of reconstructive microsurgery.
