About
Dr. S. Mouttalib is a pediatric surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for complex urological and abdominal conditions in children. Their major contributions center on evaluating and comparing robotic and laparoscopic approaches, particularly for pyeloplasty—a procedure to correct ureteropelvic junction obstruction. Notably, Dr. Mouttalib’s 2023 study on the robotic pyeloplasty learning curve for surgeons without prior laparoscopic experience has garnered 9 citations, offering critical guidance for training and adoption. Another key work, a 2020 study on the laparoscopic vascular hitch technique for polar vessels in pyeloureteric junction obstruction, also with 9 citations, provides medium-term follow-up data that supports this vessel-sparing approach. Additionally, their 2023 single-center study comparing robotic-assisted and laparoscopic splenectomy (5 citations) helps clarify the feasibility and safety of robotic surgery in pediatric splenectomy programs. Through these investigations, Dr. Mouttalib has helped define learning curves, validate novel techniques, and expand the evidence base for robotic surgery in children, directly impacting surgical decision-making and training protocols in pediatric minimally invasive surgery.
