About
Dr. Raquel A. Minasian is a pioneering plastic surgeon whose research is reshaping breast reconstruction and microsurgery through the integration of robotic technology. Her work focuses on the full continuum of robotic breast surgery, from mastectomy to supermicrosurgery, advancing minimally invasive techniques that improve patient outcomes. Dr. Minasian’s major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility and benefits of robotic-assisted deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap breast reconstruction, a procedure that traditionally requires large incisions. By leveraging robotic-assisted surgery (RAS), she has shown improved visualization, precision, and reduced morbidity, challenging conventional open methods. Her 2023 paper on the full robotic continuum has garnered 9 citations, while her 2024 work on robotic DIEP flaps has 8 citations, reflecting growing interest in her innovative approach. Notably, Dr. Minasian is at the forefront of integrating robotics into plastic surgery, a field historically slow to adopt such technology. Her achievements highlight a transformative shift toward robotic supermicrosurgery, offering patients less invasive options with enhanced recovery. For students and researchers, her work exemplifies how surgical innovation can bridge disciplines, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in reconstructive surgery.
