About
Adel Abou-Mrad is a leading figure in robotic and minimally invasive surgery, with a research focus that spans bariatric, oncologic, and gastrointestinal procedures. His landmark work includes a pioneering retrospective study comparing laparoscopic versus fully robotic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (40 citations), which established key feasibility benchmarks for robotic bariatric surgery. As a core contributor to TROGSS and EFISDS joint working groups, he has authored comprehensive reviews on robotic-assisted esophagectomy and gastrectomy for cancer, synthesizing evidence on postoperative outcomes and technical advantages. His meta-analyses on perioperative immunonutrition in GI oncology and the link between pancreaticobiliary maljunction and biliary cancer demonstrate a commitment to improving surgical safety and patient outcomes. Beyond Earth, Abou-Mrad explores flexible robotic platforms for microgravity surgery, reflecting his innovative vision. He also developed the Competency-Based Assessment of Robotic Surgery Skills (CARS) scale, a novel tool for training general surgery residents. With over 100 citations across his most-cited works, his bibliometric analyses of robotic surgery trends in Latin America and globally underscore his role as a thought leader shaping the future of surgical robotics.
