About

Dr. Ayah El-Fahmawi is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly robot-assisted prostate surgery, with a focus on improving patient outcomes and expanding the boundaries of same-day discharge protocols. Her most impactful work, "Outpatient Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy: Are Patients Ready for Same-Day Discharge?" (41 citations), critically examines patient readiness for outpatient care, addressing a key gap in the adoption of ambulatory surgery for prostate cancer. Dr. El-Fahmawi also contributed a seminal stepwise description of bladder neck sparing robot-assisted simple prostatectomy (18 citations), providing a reproducible technique that enhances functional recovery for benign prostatic hyperplasia patients. Her expertise extends to high-risk populations, as demonstrated in her study on robot-assisted radical prostatectomy in kidney transplant recipients, the largest single-center series of its kind. Through her work, Dr. El-Fahmawi has not only refined surgical approaches but also championed patient-centered care, influencing how urologists balance oncological control with quality of life. Her growing citation record reflects her emerging role as a leader in robotic urologic surgery.
