He has a special interest and expertise in breast reconstruction, lymphedema surgery, gender affirming surgery, oncologic and trauma reconstruction, vascularized composite allotransplantation and minimally invasive surgery.

Dr. Manrique most recently built and structured the microsurgery-training program at Clinica Reina Catalina in his home country Colombia, where he received the “Jose Consuegra Higgins”, Endowed-Chair Award in Reconstructive Microsurgery.
