About
Dr. Muhammad Ghanem is a pioneering robotic bariatric surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive metabolic procedures, particularly the duodenal switch. His major contributions include refining the totally robotic-assisted biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD/DS), as demonstrated in his landmark study detailing the surgical technique and outcomes from a single-institution experience of 661 cases—a paper that has garnered 13 citations for its comprehensive analysis. Dr. Ghanem has also critically examined the learning curve associated with this complex procedure, showing that with proper training, robotic BPD/DS can be performed safely even during the adoption phase, a finding with 5 citations. Most recently, he has innovated in surgical efficiency by designing and implementing the "Orlando Score," a composite performance metric to drive cost-effectiveness in robotic-assisted surgery. His work not only establishes benchmarks for safety and reproducibility but also provides a framework for optimizing resource utilization in high-volume robotic programs. Dr. Ghanem’s research is essential reading for surgeons and trainees seeking to master advanced robotic bariatric techniques while maintaining patient safety and operational efficiency.
