About

Dr. Zoha Ahmad is a leading researcher in bariatric and minimally invasive surgery, with a focused expertise in robotic-assisted surgical techniques. Her work critically evaluates the clinical evidence and perioperative outcomes of robotic surgery compared to traditional laparoscopic approaches, particularly in metabolic and bariatric procedures. Dr. Ahmad’s most influential paper, “Robotic surgery: current perceptions and the clinical evidence” (2016), has garnered 94 citations, serving as a foundational review that bridges the gap between emerging robotic technology and evidence-based practice. Her landmark retrospective study on laparoscopic versus robotic-assisted Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (2015, 41 citations) provided early, real-world data from a community hospital setting, demonstrating the safety and feasibility of robotic approaches in bariatric surgery. Most recently, her 2025 study comparing early perioperative outcomes in a center of excellence continues to shape best practices in the field. Through her rigorous comparative analyses, Dr. Ahmad has significantly advanced the understanding of robotic surgery’s role in improving patient outcomes, making her a key voice in the evolution of minimally invasive bariatric care.
