About

Morkos Iskander is a leading figure in hernia surgery and urologic reconstruction, whose work has shaped international clinical standards. He is best known for co-authoring the landmark update to the International Endohernia Society (IEHS) guidelines for the laparoscopic treatment of ventral and incisional abdominal wall hernias. Published in 2019, these two-part guidelines—cited over 530 times collectively—represent the most authoritative, evidence-based recommendations for surgeons worldwide, synthesizing the best available evidence on diagnostics, surgical technique, and postoperative care. Iskander’s contributions have directly improved the safety and efficacy of minimally invasive hernia repair, a field where his work is considered essential reading. Beyond hernia surgery, he has made notable contributions to urologic reconstruction, particularly in the contemporary management of ureteral strictures. His research on this topic, which has garnered significant attention, details the evolution from traditional open repair to advanced laparoscopic and robotic approaches, helping preserve renal function. Through his guideline leadership and focused clinical studies, Iskander has established himself as a key translator of complex surgical evidence into practical, life-changing treatments.
