About

Dr. Hasan Al Harakeh is a pioneering surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive hepatobiliary surgery, with a particular focus on robotic approaches to complex biliary pathology. His most-cited paper, "Robotic Common Bile Duct Exploration for Choledocholithiasis" (2025, 6 citations), represents a landmark contribution to the field, meticulously detailing procedural steps and technical considerations that help flatten the steep learning curve associated with robotic common bile duct exploration. This work addresses a critical gap in surgical practice—while robotic systems offer superior visualization and dexterity over open and laparoscopic techniques, their adoption has been hindered by technical complexity. Dr. Al Harakeh’s research not only provides a reproducible framework for surgeons transitioning to robotic approaches but also demonstrates the potential for improved patient outcomes in managing choledocholithiasis. His contributions are particularly valuable for trainees and early-career surgeons seeking structured guidance in advanced minimally invasive techniques. By systematically demystifying robotic biliary surgery, Dr. Al Harakeh is helping to broaden access to these sophisticated procedures, ultimately advancing the standard of care in hepatobiliary surgery.
