About
Dr. Said Yaiesh is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on the adoption, perception, and outcomes of robot-assisted surgery (RAS), particularly in low-volume and Middle Eastern healthcare settings. His research uniquely bridges clinical outcomes with human factors, as demonstrated by his most-cited study, “Multiple perceptions of robotic-assisted surgery among surgeons and patients” (21 citations), which provides critical insights into the acceptance and barriers of RAS technology. Dr. Yaiesh has made landmark contributions to the evidence base for robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and partial nephrectomy (RAPN) in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region. His multi-institutional outcome study on RARP in low-volume regions (5 citations) directly challenges assumptions about surgical volume thresholds, showing that fellowship-trained expertise can yield outcomes comparable to global benchmarks. He also demonstrated that total robotic surgical volume can positively influence outcomes in low-volume RAPN over extended periods. By systematically documenting both surgeon perceptions and pathological features of prostate cancer in the Middle East, Dr. Yaiesh has provided essential data for regional surgical planning and technology adoption, establishing himself as a key voice in the global dialogue on robotic surgery dissemination.
