About
Rawan Al-Yousef is a pioneering urological surgeon whose research focuses on the adoption, perception, and clinical application of robotic-assisted surgery (RAS), particularly within the Middle East. Her work bridges the gap between technological innovation and real-world clinical practice, exploring both patient and surgeon perspectives on robotic systems. In her most cited study, “Multiple perceptions of robotic-assisted surgery among surgeons and patients” (2020, 21 citations), she provides critical insights into the factors influencing acceptance of RAS, a rapidly expanding field. Al-Yousef also contributed a notable technical case report on robotic pyelolithotomy in a congenital pelvic kidney (2017), demonstrating the feasibility of complex minimally invasive procedures in anatomically challenging patients. Her survey of Kuwaiti surgeons (2018) further highlights regional attitudes toward RAS, offering valuable data for healthcare implementation. Through her work at Sabah Al-Ahmad Urology Center, Al-Yousef has become a key voice in advancing robotic urology in the Gulf region, combining technical expertise with a deep understanding of the human and systemic factors that shape surgical innovation.
