About

Dr. Ahmad Omid Rahimi is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of surgical education and bariatric surgery, with a focus on robotic-assisted approaches. His most cited work, a systematic review of robotic surgery curricula using contemporary educational frameworks (21 citations), has established foundational guidelines for training the next generation of robotic surgeons. Dr. Rahimi’s major contributions include large-scale database analyses comparing laparoscopic and robotic bariatric procedures, notably demonstrating through MBSAQIP data that robotic bariatric surgery may offer safety advantages for older adults—a critical finding for an aging population. His 4-year analysis of first assistant roles in bariatric surgery (8 citations) further refines understanding of operative team dynamics. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Rahimi examined how the crisis reshaped patient selection and postoperative outcomes, providing timely insights into healthcare resilience. With a growing citation impact, his work bridges surgical innovation, patient safety, and educational reform, making him a key voice in the evolution of minimally invasive bariatric care.
