About
Dr. M. Khashab is a pioneering gastroenterologist and advanced endoscopist whose work has fundamentally reshaped the management of esophageal motility disorders. His primary research focuses on peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) and its comparative effectiveness against traditional surgical approaches. In a landmark 2017 study, Khashab demonstrated that POEM achieves clinical response rates equivalent to robotic Heller myotomy (RHM) while incurring significantly lower healthcare charges—a finding with profound implications for cost-effective patient care. This work, cited 37 times, has helped establish POEM as a first-line therapy for achalasia. Beyond this, Khashab has been instrumental in developing and refining novel endoscopic techniques, including submucosal tunneling and endoscopic suturing. His contributions have been recognized through numerous leadership roles in gastroenterology societies and editorial positions at top-tier journals. With a citation count exceeding 5,000, Khashab’s research continues to drive the paradigm shift toward minimally invasive, incisionless interventions, making him a defining voice in therapeutic endoscopy.
