About

Fawzi Abul is a distinguished urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on the adoption and perception of robotic surgery, particularly in the Middle East. His major contribution lies in assessing the readiness and attitudes of surgeons toward robot-assisted surgery (RAS) in Kuwait, a region where such technology is still emerging. His most cited study, a survey of surgeons in Kuwait published in 2018, revealed that while most respondents recognized the benefits of RAS—such as improved precision and reduced recovery time—concerns about cost, training, and long-term outcomes persisted. This work has been cited 4 times and is foundational for understanding the barriers to surgical innovation in developing healthcare systems. Abul’s research is notable for its practical implications, guiding hospital administrators and policymakers in implementing robotic programs. By highlighting the gap between technological availability and clinical adoption, he has helped shape strategies for surgical education and resource allocation. His findings continue to inform discussions on how to integrate advanced surgical tools into diverse medical environments, making him a key voice in the global conversation on robotic surgery.
