About
Schaima Abdelhadi is a leading figure in the evolution of minimally invasive liver surgery, with a focused expertise in robotic and laparoscopic hepatectomy. Her work directly addresses the critical question of how these advanced techniques compare to traditional open surgery, particularly for complex cases. A major contribution is her 2023 cohort study on robotic or laparoscopic repeat hepatectomy after open surgery, which has garnered 19 citations, providing crucial evidence for the feasibility and safety of minimally invasive approaches in re-operative settings. She further advanced the field by co-authoring the 2025 international benchmark values for robotic right hepatectomy, a landmark multicenter study from 22 expert centers that sets the standard for evaluating surgical performance. Her research also includes a meta-analysis on the oncological adequacy of R1 vascular margins in minimally invasive liver surgery for hepatocellular carcinoma and colorectal liver metastases. By stratifying outcomes according to the IWATE difficulty score, Abdelhadi is helping surgeons determine the optimal approach for each patient, solidifying her role as a key architect of modern, evidence-based hepatobiliary surgery.
