About
Dr. Fathi Al Kadhi is a pioneering urological surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive stone surgery, particularly through robotic-assisted flexible ureteroscopy (FURS) and novel laser technologies. His major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility and safety of robotic FURS using the thulium fiber laser in challenging clinical scenarios, such as treating COVID-19 positive patients—a landmark case that highlighted how robotic platforms can overcome the ergonomic limitations of conventional flexible ureteroscopes while maintaining sterility and reducing viral exposure. This work, published in 2021, has garnered 3 citations and serves as a critical reference for adapting urological care during pandemics. Dr. Al Kadhi’s research addresses the persistent challenge of suboptimal surgeon ergonomics in FURS, offering a robotic solution that enhances precision and reduces physical strain. His case report and literature review provide a foundational framework for integrating robotic assistance into endourology, paving the way for broader adoption. By bridging surgical innovation with real-world clinical needs, Dr. Al Kadhi has established himself as a forward-thinking leader in urology, inspiring further exploration into robotic and laser-assisted techniques for complex stone disease.
