About

Dr. Diaa Soliman is a pioneering surgeon at the forefront of minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgery, with a focused expertise in bariatric and colorectal procedures. His major contributions lie in rigorously comparing surgical outcomes between laparoscopic and robotic approaches, providing critical data to guide clinical decision-making. Notably, his landmark 2023 study analyzing over four years of MBSAQIP data (8 citations) demonstrated the comparative safety and efficacy of robotic versus laparoscopic bariatric surgery on a national scale. Dr. Soliman has further advanced the field by evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on bariatric surgery patient selection and outcomes (2 citations), and by championing the adoption of robotic colorectal surgery in newly established centers, as evidenced by his 2024 case series (2 citations) and comparative cohort study (6 citations). His work is particularly valuable for surgeons in the Middle East, where robotic adoption has been slow, offering evidence-based insights to improve patient access and surgical quality. Through his research, Dr. Soliman is shaping the future of surgical practice by demonstrating that robotic platforms can achieve outcomes comparable to laparoscopy, even in emerging programs.
