About
Manar Malki is a surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of robotic surgery, urological oncology, and patient safety. Her primary research areas include minimally invasive robotic-assisted procedures for kidney cancer and upper urinary tract reconstruction, with a particular focus on optimizing outcomes for complex patient populations. Malki has made significant contributions to the field by demonstrating the safety and efficacy of retroperitoneal robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) in obese patients—a group traditionally at higher surgical risk. Her work also includes validating nephrometry scoring systems (RENAL, PADUA, SPARE) to better predict peri-operative outcomes, and reporting a decade-long experience with robotic pyeloplasty. Notably, during the COVID-19 pandemic, she helped pioneer a “COVID protected” robotic surgical centre for colorectal and urological cancers, enabling elective surgery to continue safely. Her most cited paper on this topic has garnered 24 citations, and her research on RAPN in obese patients has been cited 15 times. Malki’s work has been instrumental in advancing robotic surgical techniques, improving patient selection, and training the next generation of surgeons, as evidenced by her study on the impact of fellows on robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy services.
