About
Kaif Qayum is a rising force in surgical innovation, whose work sits at the intersection of robotic technology and evidence-based medicine. His primary research areas encompass robotic-assisted orthopaedic and hepatobiliary surgery, with a particular focus on total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and laparoscopic procedures. Qayum’s major contributions include leading two high-impact meta-analyses on robotic versus conventional TKA, which together have garnered over 34 citations. These studies rigorously compare alignment accuracy and clinical outcomes, providing crucial Level 1 evidence that helps surgeons weigh the benefits of robotic assistance. His 2024 systematic review, with 20 citations, is especially influential in shaping current orthopaedic practice. In hepatobiliary surgery, Qayum’s 2021 meta-analysis on robotic versus laparoscopic left lateral hepatic sectionectomy (15 citations) offers Level 2a evidence, advancing the debate on minimally invasive liver resection. By synthesizing data from randomised controlled trials, Qayum has established himself as a key synthesizer of surgical evidence, helping to define best practices in an era of rapid technological adoption. His work is essential reading for any researcher or clinician navigating the shift toward robotic-assisted surgery.
