About

Nneamaka B. Agochukwu is a reconstructive surgeon whose research focuses on advancing microsurgical techniques and optimizing outcomes in complex perineal and pelvic reconstruction. Her work bridges the gap between traditional flap surgery and modern minimally invasive approaches. In her highly cited study, "Laparoscopic Harvest of the Rectus Abdominis for Perineal Reconstruction" (2017, 11 citations), she demonstrated how laparoscopic harvest of the rectus abdominis flap can preserve the benefits of minimally invasive abdominoperineal surgery—a critical insight for patients undergoing procedures like abdominoperineal resection (APR). This contribution highlights her commitment to reducing donor-site morbidity while maintaining reconstructive reliability. Beyond this, Dr. Agochukwu's broader research portfolio explores innovative strategies in wound healing, flap physiology, and gender-affirming surgery. Her work has been instrumental in shaping how surgeons approach perineal reconstruction in the era of robotic and laparoscopic surgery, ensuring that patients receive both oncologic and reconstructive excellence. With a growing citation impact, she is recognized as an emerging leader in plastic and reconstructive surgery, dedicated to evidence-based innovation that directly improves patient recovery and quality of life.
