About
Dr. Nizar Khatib is a leading figure in reproductive medicine, whose work has fundamentally advanced the management of complex and high-risk pregnancies. His research centers on the diagnosis and treatment of Cesarean scar pregnancies (CSP) and cervical pregnancies (CxP)—conditions that carry a significant risk of life-threatening hemorrhage. Dr. Khatib’s most impactful contribution is his pioneering use of the Foley balloon catheter as a prophylactic and therapeutic tool to prevent or control severe bleeding during treatment for these rare but dangerous ectopic gestations. His landmark 2014 study on this technique, cited over 60 times, has provided clinicians with a simple, effective, and widely accessible method to preserve fertility and reduce maternal morbidity. By demonstrating the efficacy of this low-cost intervention, Dr. Khatib has directly influenced clinical protocols worldwide, offering a safer path for women facing these challenging diagnoses. His work stands as a testament to the power of innovative, practical solutions in improving outcomes for the most vulnerable patients.
