About

Dr. Ashraf Haddad is a pioneering surgeon whose work sits at the intersection of robotic surgery and artificial intelligence, with a particular focus on metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS). His most influential contribution is the landmark 2025 paper, "International expert consensus on the current status and future prospects of artificial intelligence in metabolic and bariatric surgery," which has already garnered 14 citations. This work establishes a critical roadmap for integrating machine learning and deep learning algorithms into MBS, addressing both current applications and future potential. Dr. Haddad’s expertise in robotic-assisted procedures is further demonstrated by his earlier work on robotic retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) using the da Vinci Xi system, a technically demanding urologic oncology procedure. By bridging the gap between advanced surgical robotics and the emerging field of AI-driven surgical decision-making, Dr. Haddad is shaping the next generation of precision surgery. His research is essential reading for anyone interested in how artificial intelligence will redefine surgical practice, from pre-operative planning to intraoperative guidance and postoperative outcomes.
