About
Areej Alfattani is a rising surgical researcher whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques and improving postoperative outcomes in both adult and pediatric populations. Her research spans two key areas: optimizing pain management in living donor hepatectomy and evaluating alternative interventions for failed pediatric pyeloplasty. In her 2025 study on acute postoperative pain after living donor hepatectomy, she critically assessed how the transition from open to laparoscopic and robotic surgical approaches impacts patient recovery and pain control, a vital consideration for donor safety and satisfaction. Her second highly cited paper from the same year provides a comparative analysis of balloon dilatation versus redo-pyeloplasty in children, offering evidence that balloon dilatation is a valid, less invasive option with low complication rates for failed pyeloplasty—a finding that could reduce the need for more technically demanding reoperations. With her work already garnering citations shortly after publication, Alfattani is establishing herself as a thoughtful contributor to evidence-based surgical innovation, particularly in scenarios where patient-centered outcomes and procedural safety are paramount. Her research holds significant promise for shaping future clinical guidelines in both transplant and pediatric urologic surgery.
