About

Dr. Souha Farhat is a pioneering researcher in the field of robotic microsurgery and autologous breast reconstruction, with a particular focus on advancing the deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap technique. Her most cited work, the 2024 systematic review "Evolution and Adaptations of Robotic DIEP Flap Surgery," has garnered 15 citations and provides a comprehensive analysis of how robotic technology is transforming surgical precision and patient outcomes in breast reconstruction. Dr. Farhat's major contributions lie in systematically evaluating the clinical adaptations, learning curves, and technical refinements of robotic-assisted DIEP flap harvest, establishing a critical evidence base for surgeons transitioning from traditional open approaches. Her research addresses key challenges in microsurgical training and operative efficiency, offering actionable insights that have influenced surgical protocols. With a citation impact that reflects growing interest in minimally invasive reconstructive techniques, Dr. Farhat's work is instrumental in bridging the gap between emerging robotic platforms and established microsurgical practices. Her systematic review serves as an essential resource for plastic surgeons and researchers seeking to understand the current state and future directions of robotic breast reconstruction.
