About

Nan Wen is a pioneering breast surgeon whose work is redefining the landscape of minimally invasive oncoplastic surgery. Her primary research focuses on developing and refining endoscopic techniques for breast reconstruction, with a particular emphasis on improving surgical outcomes for patients undergoing nipple-sparing mastectomy. Wen’s most notable contribution is the creation of a novel endoscopic technique (ET) that directly addresses the critical limitations of prior minimally invasive approaches—namely, the cumbersome operation of conventional endoscopy, the prohibitive cost of robotic surgery, and the excessively long operative times associated with both. Her landmark 2021 paper, "Subversion of Endoscopic Breast Reconstruction Surgery," which has garnered 6 citations, details this innovative method that streamlines the procedure while maintaining oncologic safety and aesthetic quality. By making advanced reconstruction more accessible and efficient, Wen’s work holds significant promise for reducing healthcare disparities and improving patient recovery experiences. Her ongoing research continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in breast conservation and reconstruction, establishing her as a rising leader in the field.
