About
S. Rua Ribeiro is a pioneering breast surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for breast cancer treatment and reconstruction. Her major contributions center on robotic-assisted procedures, particularly the development and refinement of robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy (R-NSM) combined with robotic latissimus dorsi flap harvest (RLDFR) for immediate breast reconstruction. Her seminal 2020 paper, "Robotic Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy and Immediate Breast Reconstruction With Robotic Latissimus Dorsi Flap Harvest: Technique and Results," with 20 citations, established a foundational framework for this innovative approach. This work demonstrated the feasibility and reproducibility of a fully robotic, single-stage oncologic and reconstructive procedure, reducing surgical trauma and improving aesthetic outcomes. Ribeiro’s research has been instrumental in expanding the indications for robotic breast surgery, offering patients less invasive options with faster recovery. Her contributions have garnered significant attention in the field, positioning her as a key figure in the evolution of robotic breast surgery. Her ongoing work continues to shape clinical practice, inspiring further investigation into robotic techniques for breast cancer management.
