About
Dr. Sherif Elhanafi is a leading voice in gastrointestinal endoscopy, renowned for his work at the intersection of procedural safety and surgical outcomes. His primary research areas include endoscopic ergonomics, minimally invasive hepatobiliary surgery, and the role of frailty in post-operative recovery. Dr. Elhanafi made a landmark contribution as a key author of the 2023 ASGE guideline on ergonomics for prevention of endoscopy-related injury, a seminal work with over 45 citations that has reshaped clinical practice to protect endoscopists from occupational strain. His research also critically examines how minimally invasive techniques and patient frailty interact to influence outcomes after liver resection, as demonstrated in his 2022 study on post-hepatectomy results (14 citations). By bridging the gap between physician well-being and patient-centered surgical care, Dr. Elhanafi’s work has had a tangible impact on both the safety of practitioners and the quality of care for high-risk surgical patients. His contributions continue to inform best practices and inspire safer, more effective endoscopic and surgical interventions.
