About
Dr. Khalid Alkadam is a pioneering robotic surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive hernia repair, with a particular focus on optimizing outcomes for elderly patients. His most impactful contribution is a landmark 2024 study published on behalf of TROGSS – The Robotic Global Surgical Society, which systematically compared clinical outcomes of robotic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) inguinal hernia repair in patients under and over 70 years old. This comprehensive retrospective cohort study, bolstered by a rigorous systematic review, demonstrated that robotic inguinal hernia repair (RIHR) is both safe and effective across age groups, challenging assumptions about surgical risk in geriatric populations. By providing evidence that fellowship-trained robotic surgeons can achieve excellent results regardless of patient age, Alkadam’s work directly informs clinical decision-making and expands access to advanced surgical techniques. Though his research portfolio is currently building, his early work has already garnered attention within the robotic surgery community, establishing him as a rising authority on age-inclusive surgical outcomes. His dedication to evidence-based practice and global surgical collaboration positions him as a key voice in the future of robotic hernia repair.
