About

Fikri M. Abu-Zidan is a leading trauma and acute care surgeon whose research bridges clinical surgery, injury prevention, and emerging technologies. His major contributions span three key areas: the prevention of pediatric injuries, the management of laparoscopic complications, and the integration of artificial intelligence in emergency surgery. Notably, his prospective study on child camel jockey injuries in the UAE demonstrated the powerful impact of legislation—a ban on children in camel racing—leading to a dramatic reduction in severe trauma, with his work on this topic accumulating over 17 citations. He has also advanced patient safety through a comprehensive review of bowel injury following gynecological laparoscopic surgery (31 citations), offering evidence-based recommendations for prevention and management. More recently, Abu-Zidan spearheaded the international ARIES project, a landmark web-based survey assessing the knowledge, attitude, and practice of AI among emergency and trauma surgeons worldwide (53 citations). This work highlights his forward-thinking approach, identifying critical gaps in AI readiness and shaping the future of surgical education and decision support. A prolific researcher and educator, Abu-Zidan’s work is essential reading for anyone interested in surgical safety, injury prevention, and the digital transformation of acute care.
