About

Mouen A. Khashab is a pioneering gastroenterologist and advanced endoscopist whose research has fundamentally reshaped therapeutic endoscopy. His work centers on developing and refining minimally invasive endoscopic techniques for managing complex gastrointestinal disorders, including pancreaticobiliary diseases, luminal cancers, and postoperative complications. Khashab is best known for advancing endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided interventions, such as EUS-guided biliary drainage and pancreatic duct access, offering safer alternatives to traditional surgery or percutaneous approaches. He has also been instrumental in standardizing best practices through landmark white papers, including the ASGE’s "Best live endoscopy practices" (2023), which provides a framework for optimizing procedural outcomes and patient safety. With over 300 peer-reviewed publications and a citation count exceeding 10,000, his work has had a profound impact on clinical guidelines worldwide. A master educator and innovator, Khashab has trained countless fellows and pioneered novel techniques like lumen-apposing metal stent placement for challenging anatomies. His contributions have earned him numerous accolades, including the ASGE’s Distinguished Service Award, cementing his legacy as a transformative leader in gastroenterology.
