About

Frédéric Bodin is a surgeon and researcher whose work bridges reconstructive surgery and robotic innovation. His primary research areas include microsurgery, flap harvesting techniques, and the application of robotic assistance in complex surgical procedures. Bodin’s most notable contribution is his pioneering work on robotically assisted harvest of the latissimus dorsi muscle, demonstrated in a 2016 cadaver feasibility study and subsequent clinical test case. This study, which has garnered 12 citations, established a foundational proof-of-concept for using robotic systems to perform minimally invasive muscle harvests—a technique that reduces donor-site morbidity and enhances precision in reconstructive surgery. By integrating robotic technology into traditional flap procedures, Bodin has opened new avenues for improving patient outcomes in breast reconstruction and chest wall repair. His work is particularly impactful for surgeons seeking to adopt less invasive approaches without compromising graft viability. Bodin’s research continues to influence the evolving field of robotic microsurgery, positioning him as a key contributor to the advancement of surgical robotics in reconstructive practice.
