About

Dr. Yasmin Khattab is a leading researcher in the field of surgical robotics, with a primary focus on advancing minimally invasive medical procedures. Her work centers on two key areas: robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery and active capsule endoscopy. In her highly cited 2022 review, "Robotics in laparoscopic surgery - A review," Dr. Khattab provided a comprehensive overview of how robotic technologies are overcoming the ergonomic and technical challenges faced by surgeons during laparoscopic procedures. This paper, with 31 citations, has become a foundational reference for understanding the current state of surgical robots. More recently, in 2025, she published "Active/robotic capsule endoscopy - A review," which explores innovative solutions to the limitations of traditional endoscopy, such as patient discomfort and restricted instrument maneuverability. By investigating active capsule systems with enhanced degrees of freedom, Dr. Khattab is contributing to the next generation of diagnostic tools that promise greater patient comfort and procedural efficiency. Her work bridges engineering and clinical practice, making her a notable voice in the evolution of robotic surgery.
