About
Monique Cohen is a pioneering breast cancer surgeon whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of robotic oncoplastic and reconstructive surgery. Her research centers on refining minimally invasive techniques for nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) and immediate breast reconstruction, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted latissimus dorsi flap harvest. Cohen’s major contributions include establishing the feasibility and safety of robotic NSM, defining the learning curve for the procedure, and demonstrating superior outcomes compared to conventional approaches—her landmark 2019 study on robotic NSM has garnered 56 citations, while her prospective comparison of robotic versus conventional NSM (36 citations) provides critical evidence for the technique’s adoption. She has also pioneered combined robotic NSM with robotic latissimus dorsi flap reconstruction through a single incision, a complex procedure detailed in her 2020 study (20 citations). Over a two-year period, Cohen performed 100 robotic breast and reconstructive procedures on 80 patients, showcasing her technical mastery. Her work during the COVID-19 pandemic further highlighted her leadership in maintaining surgical oncologic activity. With over 190 total citations, Cohen is a transformative figure in breast surgical oncology, offering patients less invasive options without compromising oncologic safety.
