About
Fuad Elkhoury is a urologic researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly in the treatment of kidney stone disease. His primary research focus is the integration of robotic-assisted electromagnetic guidance to improve the safety and efficacy of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), a cornerstone procedure for large renal calculi. In a notable cadaveric study, Elkhoury and his team demonstrated that robotic-assisted electromagnetic guidance significantly minimizes radiation exposure for novice surgeons gaining percutaneous access—a critical advancement for reducing occupational hazards in the operating room. This work, published in the *Journal of Urology*, has garnered early citations, reflecting its relevance to improving surgical training and patient safety. Building on this, his 2025 study further validated the technology, showing that robotic guidance enhances access success rates for both novices and experts. By tackling the steep learning curve of PCNL and reducing reliance on fluoroscopy, Elkhoury’s contributions are shaping a future where kidney stone surgery is safer, more precise, and more accessible to surgeons at all experience levels.
