About
Dr. Sandrine Rua is a pioneering French oncologic surgeon whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of minimally invasive breast cancer surgery, particularly through the integration of robotic technology. Her research centers on the feasibility, safety, and comparative outcomes of robotic-assisted mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction. Dr. Rua’s major contributions include demonstrating that robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy (R-NSM) is not only feasible but offers superior cosmetic outcomes and shorter recovery times compared to conventional techniques. She has also standardized the surgical procedure and defined the learning curve for robotic NSM, as highlighted in her highly cited 2019 study (56 citations). Her landmark 2016 multicenter analysis on robotic laparoscopy for early-stage ovarian cancer (99 citations) further underscores her impact on oncologic surgery. With over 270 total citations, Dr. Rua’s work has been instrumental in shifting surgical paradigms, proving that robotic assistance can enhance precision and patient satisfaction without compromising oncologic safety. Her 2021 prospective comparison of robotic versus conventional NSM (36 citations) remains a key reference for surgeons adopting these techniques. Dr. Rua’s dedication to innovation and rigorous clinical evaluation continues to shape the future of breast cancer surgery.
