About
Dr. Tanya Lehky is a leading neurosurgeon and researcher whose work focuses on the surgical management of peripheral nerve tumors, with a particular emphasis on minimally invasive techniques and intraoperative neuromonitoring. Her major contributions center on advancing the safety and precision of robotic-assisted resection for retroperitoneal nerve sheath tumors, a technically demanding area where preserving nerve function is critical. In her landmark 2021 study, "Robotic Nerve Sheath Tumor Resection With Intraoperative Neuromonitoring: Case Series and Systematic Review," Dr. Lehky demonstrated how combining robotic surgery with real-time nerve monitoring can reduce neurological morbidity while achieving complete tumor removal. This work, which has garnered 11 citations, provides a foundational framework for surgeons seeking to adopt robotic approaches in complex retroperitoneal cases. By systematically reviewing outcomes and detailing her own case series, she has helped establish best practices for identifying and sparing functional nerve fascicles during resection. Dr. Lehky’s research directly addresses a longstanding surgical challenge, offering evidence that robotic techniques can improve patient outcomes in peripheral nerve surgery. Her contributions are shaping the future of nerve-sparing tumor surgery and inspiring further innovation in the field.
