About

Oriana Cohen is a pioneering surgeon and researcher specializing in gender-affirming surgery, with a particular focus on robotic and minimally invasive techniques for transgender genital reconstruction. Her work has significantly advanced surgical options for both transfeminine and transmasculine patients, addressing some of the most challenging technical complications in the field. Cohen's most influential contribution — her 2019 paper on robotic Davydov peritoneal flap vaginoplasty (105 citations) — introduced an innovative solution for transwomen experiencing inadequate vaginal depth following penile inversion vaginoplasty, a common and distressing complication. This work established a new standard of care for complex revision cases. Equally notable is her development of a novel split pedicled gracilis muscle flap technique for female-to-male phalloplasty, offering improved urethral reconstruction and management of vaginal defects during staged surgery. Across her body of work, Cohen has consistently championed robotic-assisted approaches that reduce surgical morbidity while improving functional outcomes. Her research on vaginal remnant excision following phalloplasty further demonstrates her commitment to resolving post-operative complications in transgender men. With nearly 170 cumulative citations, her contributions have meaningfully shaped contemporary gender-affirming surgical practice and inspired ongoing innovation in this rapidly evolving specialty.
