About

Dr. Badi Rawashdeh is a pioneering surgeon whose work centers on the application of robotic technology in complex abdominal and thoracic surgeries, with a particular focus on organ transplantation. His most impactful contribution is demonstrating that robot-assisted kidney transplantation is a safe and effective alternative for morbidly obese patients with end-stage renal disease—a population often denied surgery due to high risks. This landmark 2021 study, with 17 citations, has helped expand access to life-saving transplants. Dr. Rawashdeh also advanced the field through a 2023 bibliometric analysis (6 citations) that mapped global trends in robotic organ transplantation, providing a critical roadmap for future research. His expertise extends to thoracic oncology, where he performed robotic resections of superior sulcus neurogenic tumors and extrapleural pneumonectomies for mesothelioma. By consistently pushing the boundaries of minimally invasive surgery, Dr. Rawashdeh has not only improved patient outcomes but also set new standards for surgical innovation in transplantation and oncology.
