About

Dr. Hamdan Alhazmi is a pioneering pediatric urologist whose research has significantly advanced the field of robotic-assisted surgery for children, particularly in Saudi Arabia. His work focuses on establishing the feasibility, safety, and optimal techniques for robotic pyeloplasty—a minimally invasive procedure to correct ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO). Dr. Alhazmi’s major contributions include the first study from Saudi Arabia analyzing the learning curve for robotic-assisted pyeloplasty in children, a critical paper (14 citations) that provides benchmarks for surgical training and adoption. He also conducted a landmark comparative study (5 citations) demonstrating that robotic pyeloplasty is as safe and effective as the traditional open approach, with comparable outcomes, thereby supporting its broader implementation. Notably, his work on a rare case of high retrocaval ureter (9 citations) highlights his expertise in managing complex anatomical variations during redo surgeries. With a cumulative impact of nearly 30 citations, Dr. Alhazmi’s research is instrumental in guiding pediatric urologists worldwide, particularly those in regions with emerging robotic surgery programs, toward safer, more efficient surgical practices.
