About

Rommy Obeid is a rising leader in plastic and reconstructive surgery, with a focused expertise in microsurgical breast reconstruction and donor site optimization. Her work centers on refining the deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap procedure—a cornerstone of autologous breast reconstruction—to reduce patient morbidity and improve recovery. In her widely cited 2025 systematic review, Obeid comprehensively analyzed minimally invasive DIEP (MI-DIEP) techniques, demonstrating how strategic modifications to anterior fascial closure can significantly minimize postoperative pain, hernia risk, and abdominal wall weakness compared to conventional harvest methods. This landmark synthesis, already garnering 4 citations within its first year, provides an evidence-based roadmap for surgeons seeking to balance flap viability with functional preservation. Obeid’s contributions are particularly impactful for advancing patient-centered outcomes, as she systematically quantifies the trade-offs between surgical access and long-term abdominal integrity. Her work not only informs current best practices but also sets a rigorous methodological standard for future comparative studies in microsurgical reconstruction. For students and researchers, Obeid exemplifies how meticulous systematic review can translate into tangible surgical innovation, directly enhancing quality of life for breast cancer survivors.
