About

Khadij Assani is a surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on the intersection of spine surgery and abdominal wall reconstruction. Her most-cited study, "Flank incisional hernia after lateral approach spine operations: presentation and outcomes after repair" (2021, 9 citations), addresses a critical and under-recognized complication of lateral spine surgery. By systematically characterizing the presentation and surgical outcomes of these hernias, Assani has provided essential guidance for managing this challenging postoperative issue, bridging a gap between spinal and general surgery. Her work highlights the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration in improving patient outcomes after complex spinal procedures. Though early in her career, Assani’s focused contributions have already informed clinical practice for surgeons dealing with flank hernias, and her research underscores a commitment to addressing practical, patient-centered problems. With a growing portfolio, she is establishing herself as a voice in surgical quality and complication management, making her a researcher to watch in the evolving field of spine-related abdominal wall surgery.
