About

Yazan AlJamal is a pioneering researcher in robotic cardiothoracic and colorectal surgery, with a focus on advancing minimally invasive techniques. His work centers on evaluating and improving robotic surgical skills, particularly in coronary revascularization and valve repair. AlJamal’s major contributions include demonstrating the safety and efficacy of robotic totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass (TECAB) and reverse hybrid coronary revascularization (RHCR), which integrates percutaneous coronary intervention with sternal-sparing bypass for multivessel disease. His studies on robotic mitral valve repair in older adults show comparable outcomes to standard sternotomy, with reduced recovery times. Notably, he developed an inexpensive, easy-to-set-up robotic cardiac simulator that provides “unlimited” training experience for TECAB, addressing a key barrier to adoption. With over 25 citations across his top papers, AlJamal’s work has significant impact, particularly his 2020 study on non-operative robotic skills in colorectal training (8 citations) and his 2025 analysis of RHCR outcomes (4 citations). His dual case reports on combined robotic aortic valve replacement and coronary bypass highlight his innovative approach to complex procedures. AlJamal’s research is vital for advancing robotic surgery training and expanding access to minimally invasive cardiac care.
