About
Dr. Layla Musleh is a pioneering pediatric surgeon whose research focuses on advancing robotic-assisted surgery for complex congenital and acquired conditions in children. Her major contributions center on demonstrating the safety, efficacy, and feasibility of minimally invasive robotic techniques in pediatric populations, particularly for challenging urological and thoracic procedures. In a landmark multicenter European study, Dr. Musleh reported excellent outcomes for robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) in children with complex pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction, a work that has garnered 34 citations and helped establish robotic surgery as a standard approach for this condition. She has also critically evaluated the learning curve for pediatric robotic surgery through a systematic review of outcomes and fellowship programs (33 citations), providing essential guidance for training the next generation of surgeons. Notably, her work on robotic lobectomy for severe bronchiectasis in children (18 citations) has demonstrated the transformative potential of this technology in pediatric thoracic surgery. Dr. Musleh’s research not only validates robotic techniques in children but also shapes surgical education and expands treatment options for young patients with complex pathologies.
