About

Dr. Khadija Nasser is a rising surgical outcomes researcher whose work focuses on the intersection of bariatric surgery, robotic technology, and large-scale data analytics. Her major contribution lies in leveraging national databases—such as the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP)—to identify patient-level predictors and outcomes associated with the rapid adoption of robotic bariatric surgery. In her landmark 2024 study analyzing over 318,000 patients, Dr. Nasser revealed critical demographic and clinical factors driving robotic delivery, providing the first comprehensive, population-level understanding of this surgical shift. This work, already garnering early citations, has immediate implications for surgical decision-making, resource allocation, and patient counseling. By moving beyond simple comparisons of surgical approaches, Dr. Nasser’s research illuminates the real-world drivers of technological adoption in surgery. Her findings are essential reading for surgeons, health policy researchers, and trainees interested in the evidence-based integration of robotics into clinical practice, establishing her as a key voice in the future of bariatric care.
