About

Dr. Fiona Tsui-Fen Cheng is a pioneering breast surgeon whose work has fundamentally shaped the field of robotic mastectomy. Her primary research focuses on advancing robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy (RNSM) techniques, establishing safety protocols, and defining the learning curve for this complex procedure. Dr. Cheng’s most significant contribution is her leadership in developing international consensus statements—first in 2020 and updated in 2025—which have standardized best practices for robotic mastectomy worldwide, directly influencing how surgeons adopt and perform these operations. Her landmark 2020 consensus paper has garnered 78 citations, underscoring its role as a foundational reference in the field. Additionally, her 2024 study, drawing on one of Asia’s largest centers, provides critical evidence on the safety and feasibility of RNSM with immediate direct-to-implant reconstruction, offering practical insights for surgical teams. Dr. Cheng’s work has not only advanced technical proficiency but also improved patient outcomes and satisfaction, making her a leading voice in the global conversation on minimally invasive breast surgery.
