About

Noura Jawhar is a rising surgical researcher whose work centers on metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS), with a particular focus on revisional procedures and the role of large-scale clinical databases in shaping surgical practice. Her research addresses the critical challenge of long-term weight recidivism, where 15–20% of patients require revisional bariatric surgery (RBS) after primary sleeve gastrectomy. In her most cited work, "The Trajectory of Revisional Bariatric Surgery: Open to Laparoscopic to Robotic," Jawhar traces the evolution of RBS techniques, highlighting the shift toward minimally invasive and robotic approaches that improve patient outcomes. Her complementary study, "From database to practice: the MBSAQIP in the surgical literature," demonstrates her commitment to evidence-based surgery by analyzing how the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP) database informs clinical decision-making. With early citations already accumulating, Jawhar’s work is establishing her as a thoughtful voice in bariatric outcomes research, bridging the gap between large-scale data analysis and practical, patient-centered surgical care.
