About

Meriem Koual is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive gynecologic oncology, with a particular focus on robotic surgery for endometrial cancer. Her research has been instrumental in demonstrating the safety and efficacy of robotic techniques in elderly women, a patient population often underrepresented in surgical trials. Her 2019 study, "Outcomes of robotic surgery for endometrial cancer in elderly women," has garnered 13 citations, providing critical evidence that age alone should not preclude patients from benefiting from robotic approaches. Koual has also refined the technical aspects of robotic surgery, as seen in her 2021 work on docking for robotic extraperitoneal para-aortic lymphadenectomy using the Da Vinci Xi system (9 citations), which offers a standardized protocol for this complex procedure. Her contributions are shaping best practices in surgical oncology, making high-quality cancer care more accessible to vulnerable populations. Through her meticulous work, Koual is not only improving surgical outcomes but also setting new benchmarks for precision and patient-centered care in gynecologic oncology.
