About
Dr. Haythem Najah is a surgical researcher whose work focuses on the pathophysiology and surgical management of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and hiatal hernias. His primary contributions lie in refining anti-reflux and hernia repair techniques, with a particular emphasis on improving patient outcomes through objective intraoperative assessment. Dr. Najah has pioneered the use of impedance planimetry (EndoFLIP™) to evaluate esophageal function during surgery, directly correlating these measurements with post-operative outcomes such as dysphagia. His research has demonstrated the utility of this technology in predicting surgical success, notably in comparative studies of Hill versus Toupet fundoplication. Additionally, he has investigated the comparative effectiveness of biosynthetic mesh versus traditional suture cruroplasty in robotic hiatal hernia repair, and has explored the impact of obesity on recurrence rates following re-operative anti-reflux surgery. With a growing body of highly cited work—including papers accumulating over 16 citations since 2023—Dr. Najah is establishing himself as a key voice in evidence-based foregut surgery, bridging the gap between intraoperative physiology and long-term patient well-being.
