F. AbdelHafez

About

Dr. F. AbdelHafez is a leading figure in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, with a particular focus on advanced laparoscopic and robotic techniques. Her research has significantly advanced the safety and precision of complex reproductive procedures. She is best known for her pioneering work on laparoscopic cervicoisthmic cerclage (LCC), a critical intervention for cervical insufficiency. Her 2012 systematic review and case series, which has garnered 16 citations, established a foundational evidence base for this technique, demonstrating its viability and outlining optimal surgical approaches. Beyond cerclage, Dr. AbdelHafez has made essential contributions to surgical safety. Her highly cited 2018 study on the influence of patient age and body mass index on supraumbilical port anatomy (10 citations) provides crucial, evidence-based guidelines for port placement, helping to mitigate vascular and visceral injury risks during laparoscopic and robotic procedures. Through her work, Dr. AbdelHafez has directly improved surgical outcomes and patient safety, solidifying her reputation as a key innovator in reproductive and minimally invasive surgery.
