About
Dahlia M. Kenawy is a surgeon-researcher whose work focuses on improving safety, efficiency, and long-term outcomes in robotic and minimally invasive surgery. Her major contributions center on two critical areas: emergency preparedness in robotic surgery and post-market surveillance of surgical repairs. She led the development of a universal algorithm for emergency conversion during robotic procedures, a framework designed to reduce catastrophic complications when robotic systems fail mid-operation. This work, published in 2020, has been cited 11 times across two related papers and represents a foundational step toward standardized crisis protocols. Kenawy also co-authored a landmark study on ten-year outcomes following ventral hernia repair, which highlighted gaps in long-term surveillance and called for better post-market monitoring in the United States. Additionally, her research on preventable operating room delays in robotic-assisted thoracic surgery identified specific cost-saving opportunities, demonstrating her commitment to operational efficiency. With a growing citation record and a focus on translating clinical challenges into actionable algorithms, Kenawy is shaping how surgical teams prepare for emergencies and evaluate device performance over time.
