About

Dr. Ayah Hijazi is a pioneering gynecologic surgeon whose research centers on advanced minimally invasive techniques for uterine-sparing surgery, particularly in the management of adenomyosis and fibroids. Her major contribution is the development and validation of a novel, layer-by-layer myometrial defect closure technique following robot-assisted laparoscopic adenomyomectomy—a procedure that traditionally posed high risks of uterine rupture and poor healing. Her most cited work (2022, 12 citations) retrospectively demonstrates that this technique significantly improves surgical outcomes, offering a safer alternative for patients with symptomatic adenomyosis who wish to preserve fertility. Dr. Hijazi has further refined this approach through video demonstrations (2021, 3 citations) and extended its application to complex cases, such as FIGO type II submucosal leiomyomas, where she achieved complete myomectomy without endometrial injury (2020, 2 citations). Her work is particularly impactful for reproductive-age women with a history of miscarriage or severe dysmenorrhea, providing evidence-based options that prioritize both symptom relief and future fertility. Dr. Hijazi’s innovations represent a meaningful step forward in robotic gynecologic surgery, bridging the gap between technical precision and patient-centered care.
