Research Interests

Research interest 

My research interests are primarily focused in the areas of gynecology and obstetrics, gynecological urology, gynecological laparoscopic surgery, and medical education, with a particular interest in conducting clinical research that contributes to the development of medical practice and the improvement of the quality of evidence-based healthcare.

In the field of obstetrics and gynecology, my research interests include studying common and complex problems that women face during pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum, in addition to research on women’s health and various gynecological diseases, pregnancy complications, and ways to improve diagnosis, treatment and health outcomes for mothers and newborns.

I am also interested in the field of gynecological laparoscopic surgery, including the evaluation and development of minimally invasive surgical techniques for the diagnosis and treatment of gynecological diseases, the study of the outcomes of laparoscopic surgery compared to traditional surgery, the indications and contraindications for laparoscopy, its complications, and ways to improve surgical safety and reduce hospital stay and recovery time. My research interests also include the use of laparoscopy in cases of ovarian, uterine, and pelvic diseases, infertility surgeries, and complex gynecological conditions.

In the field of female urology, I am interested in research on pelvic floor disorders, urinary incontinence, overactive bladder, urinary disorders, and pelvic organ prolapse, with an interest in using modern assessment methods such as urodynamics and studying the effectiveness of different treatment options and their impact on the quality of life of patients.

Medical education is an important focus of my research interests, particularly the development of teaching methods and clinical training, skills-based and simulation-based education, the development of assessment and examination methods, especially the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE), and the study of the effectiveness of modern teaching strategies.

Through these interests, I seek to conduct systematically high-quality clinical and educational research, publish its results in peer-reviewed scientific journals, contribute to the development of medical practice, education and clinical training, and encourage postgraduate students and young doctors to conduct applied research that serves the specialties of women and obstetrics, laparoscopic surgery, gynecological urology, and medical education.
