Abdelrahman AlAshqar

About

Dr. Abdelrahman AlAshqar is a leading researcher in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, with a focused expertise in optimizing surgical outcomes and healthcare delivery for benign hysterectomy. His major contributions center on identifying patient-level, clinical, and hospital-related factors that influence surgical approach, cost, and recovery. Notably, his highly cited 2020 study in the *Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Research* (18 citations) analyzed over 725,000 national cases to reveal demographic and institutional disparities in the use of robotic hysterectomy. He further advanced the field by developing predictive models for same-day discharge (11 citations) and quantifying the impact of obesity on both clinical and financial outcomes (10 citations). Dr. AlAshqar’s work has been instrumental in promoting value-based care, demonstrating how patient characteristics—such as BMI and comorbidities—can guide cost-effective, safe surgical planning. His research consistently bridges clinical practice with health policy, offering actionable insights for reducing healthcare costs while improving patient recovery. With a growing citation record and a clear trajectory toward personalized, evidence-based gynecologic surgery, Dr. AlAshqar is a rising authority in benign gynecology and surgical health services research.
