About
Dr. Ahmed Almamar is a surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive approaches to complex hepatobiliary conditions. His primary research areas include robotic-assisted biliary surgery, choledocholithiasis management, and cost-effectiveness in surgical innovation. Dr. Almamar’s most notable contribution is his 2017 study, "Cost analysis of robot-assisted choledochotomy and common bile duct exploration as an option for complex choledocholithiasis," which has garnered 15 citations. This work critically evaluates the economic and clinical viability of robotic surgery for challenging bile duct stones, demonstrating that robotic-assisted common bile duct exploration can be a safe, effective, and potentially cost-saving alternative to traditional open or endoscopic procedures. By systematically comparing operative times, complication rates, and hospital costs, his research provides essential data for surgeons weighing advanced technology against standard care. Dr. Almamar’s findings help shape evidence-based protocols in hepatobiliary surgery, offering a practical framework for integrating robotics into complex stone disease management. His work is particularly valuable for trainees and colleagues seeking to understand the real-world trade-offs of adopting robotic platforms in high-stakes biliary cases.
