About

Adonis Hijaz is a leading urologist and researcher whose work centers on female pelvic medicine, reconstructive surgery, and the treatment of urinary incontinence and obstruction. His major contributions include advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for complex urethral and bladder outlet conditions, particularly through the application of robotic-assisted procedures. In his notable case series on robotic-assisted urethrolysis for urethral obstruction following retropubic bladder neck suspension, Hijaz addressed a critical complication of stress incontinence surgery—overcorrection leading to kinking or scarring of the urethra. This work, cited over 7 times, highlights his focus on improving surgical outcomes and reducing morbidity for patients with refractory bladder outlet obstruction. Beyond this, Hijaz has been instrumental in developing innovative approaches to pelvic floor disorders, earning recognition as a thought leader in urologic robotics. His research has helped shape clinical guidelines for managing postoperative urethral obstruction, and his dedication to refining surgical techniques continues to influence the field. With a career marked by both clinical excellence and impactful scholarship, Hijaz remains a key figure for students and researchers interested in the intersection of urology, robotics, and female pelvic health.
