About
Dr. Ahmed Almathami is a pediatric urologist whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly robotic-assisted pyeloplasty for the treatment of ureteropelvic junction obstruction in children. His major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility and safety of robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) compared to traditional open pyeloplasty, as evidenced by his single-center experience in Saudi Arabia. This work, published in 2018, has garnered 5 citations and provides critical data supporting the adoption of robotic surgery in pediatric populations. Dr. Almathami has also contributed to the understanding of complex anatomical variations, such as the high retrocaval ureter, which he described as an unexpected intraoperative finding during robotic redo pyeloplasty—a case report that has received 9 citations. His research underscores the importance of surgical innovation in improving outcomes for pediatric patients. By documenting the evolution of robotic surgery at his institution since 2013, Dr. Almathami has helped establish benchmarks for safety and efficacy, making him a notable figure in the field of pediatric urology and robotic surgery.
