Elias D. Abi Khalil

About

Elias D. Abi Khalil is a leading figure in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, with a focused expertise in robotic-assisted procedures for complex conditions such as endometriosis and uterine pathologies. His most cited work, a 2017 study comparing robotic and laparoscopic hysterectomy across varying uterine weights (41 citations), provides critical evidence on cost and operative outcomes, guiding surgical decision-making. Dr. Abi Khalil has also advanced the management of deeply infiltrative endometriosis through multidisciplinary resection techniques (15 citations), demonstrating the power of collaborative surgical approaches. His innovative contributions extend to fertility-preserving surgeries, including single-site robotic myomectomy and robotic cerclage placement in advanced endometriosis, where he has refined techniques to improve patient outcomes. Notably, his work on surgical variance in transabdominal cerclage placement (9 citations) highlights his commitment to optimizing procedures across preconceptional and postconceptional contexts. With a portfolio that bridges clinical efficacy, cost analysis, and technical innovation, Dr. Abi Khalil’s research has significantly shaped modern gynecologic surgery, offering reproducible, patient-centered solutions for challenging cases.
