About

Maher Ghanem is a surgeon and clinical researcher whose work centers on minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgical techniques, with a particular focus on improving patient outcomes and advancing surgical education. His most influential contribution, "Robotic versus Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy" (2020, 16 citations), offers a rigorous case-control analysis comparing the two approaches, highlighting the ergonomic and visualization advantages of robotic surgery while exploring meaningful implications for resident training programs. This work positions Ghanem at the forefront of a growing conversation about how emerging surgical technologies reshape both patient care and medical education. Beyond comparative outcomes research, Ghanem has demonstrated a keen clinical eye for rare and diagnostically challenging presentations. His case report on blue liver syndrome in a non-chemotherapy patient (6 citations) and his innovative use of robotic-assisted surgery to remove a giant gastric trichobezoar (5 citations) reflect a willingness to document and share uncommon findings that expand the surgical literature. His earlier work on cost and outcomes in robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery (2015) further underscores a sustained, long-term commitment to evaluating the practical and economic dimensions of adopting advanced surgical technologies in clinical settings.
