About

Sabrina Awshah is a rising surgical researcher whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques in foregut and abdominal wall surgery. Her most significant contribution is a comprehensive 2024 systematic review and meta-analysis comparing robotic versus laparoscopic approaches for hiatal hernia repair and Heller myotomy. This high-impact study, already garnering 11 citations, synthesizes evidence to clarify whether robotic surgery offers measurable advantages over the laparoscopic standard for these common foregut pathologies—a question of direct relevance to surgeons and patients alike. Awshah also contributes to the literature on rare surgical entities, as demonstrated by her 2023 case report detailing the management of an incarcerated falciform ligament hernia, a rare internal hernia. In that report, she describes the successful use of a robotic-assisted laparoscopic approach, further showcasing her expertise in cutting-edge surgical technology. Through her work, Awshah is helping to define the evolving role of robotics in general surgery, providing evidence that can guide clinical decision-making and improve patient outcomes. Her focused research agenda positions her as an emerging authority in the comparative effectiveness of surgical platforms.
