About

Dr. Hala Al Asadi is a leading researcher in the field of foregut surgery, with a specialized focus on gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), hiatal hernia repair, and post-operative dysphagia. Her work has significantly advanced the understanding of surgical outcomes through the innovative use of impedance planimetry (EndoFLIP™), a technology that provides real-time, objective measurements of esophageal function. Her 2023 study on planimetry and surgical outcomes after Hill versus Toupet fundoplication (6 citations) has been foundational in comparing these techniques. Dr. Al Asadi’s research further explores the causes and management of post-operative dysphagia, including the efficacy of endoscopic balloon dilation. She has also made critical contributions to comparative outcomes in hernia repair, examining diaphragmatic suture cruroplasty versus biosynthetic mesh reinforcement, and investigating the impact of obesity on GERD recurrence after re-operative surgery. Her work on the safety and efficacy of robotic anti-reflux surgery in geriatric patients underscores her commitment to improving surgical care across diverse populations. With a growing citation impact and a focus on evidence-based, patient-centered outcomes, Dr. Al Asadi is shaping the future of minimally invasive foregut surgery.
