About

Basem Soliman is a surgeon-scientist advancing the field of minimally invasive thoracic and foregut surgery, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted techniques. His work has been instrumental in demonstrating the safety and efficacy of the da Vinci Xi robotic platform across multiple surgical domains. In his landmark 2019 study on hiatal hernia repair—cited over 70 times—Soliman showed that robotic assistance yields favorable short-term outcomes compared to traditional laparoscopic approaches. He further extended this analysis to pulmonary resections, where his 2020 investigation of over 30 citations evaluated the impact of the da Vinci Xi on perioperative outcomes after lung surgery. Beyond these comparative effectiveness studies, Soliman has contributed to the surgical literature on rare pathologies, including case reports on gallbladder volvulus masquerading as acute cholecystitis and gastric leiomyoma causing massive gastrointestinal bleeding. These works highlight his diagnostic acumen and commitment to documenting uncommon presentations that challenge even experienced surgeons. With a growing citation footprint and a research portfolio bridging robotics, thoracic surgery, and complex benign disease, Soliman is establishing himself as a thoughtful contributor to evidence-based surgical innovation.
