About

Mohammad Saeed Quraishy is a pioneering general surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgery in resource-limited settings, with a particular focus on robotic and laparoscopic techniques. His major contributions include demonstrating the clinical feasibility of robotic surgery in a developing country through a landmark 2019 study at public-sector hospitals in Karachi, which assessed both patient outcomes and the critical challenge of cost sustainability. This work, cited 10 times, provides a foundational blueprint for integrating advanced surgical platforms where resources are scarce. Quraishy has also made significant strides in hernia surgery, authoring a comparative study on transabdominal preperitoneal mesh repair with and without fixation, evaluating recurrence and chronic pain outcomes. Furthermore, his research on simulator-based robotic training, cited 4 times, addresses a key educational question: whether prior laparoscopic experience enhances performance on the DaVinci robotic skills simulator. Through these studies, Quraishy not only advances surgical technique but also tackles the practical and training barriers to adopting cutting-edge technology in public healthcare systems, making him a vital voice in global surgical innovation.
