Aladdin H. Hassanein conducts clinical research in reconstructive and plastic surgery, with a strong focus on breast reconstruction after mastectomy and on lymphedema (fluid buildup and swelling that can follow cancer surgery). The work spans surgical techniques such as free flap and DIEP flap reconstruction, microsurgical lymphatic repair, strategies to reduce infection, and patient outcomes including quality of life and cost-effectiveness.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
