The event opened with remarks by LAU President Dr. Chaouki T. Abdallah and Dr. Zeina Khouri-Stevens, Executive Vice President of the LAU Health System. Vice Presidents and leaders from LAU and the LAU Health System also attended, alongside GME representatives and the program’s surgeons: Pr. Eddie K. Abdalla, Dr. Malek Meskawi, and Dr. Bassel Abouzeid.
The discussion highlighted what sets the program apart: the expertise behind the technology. Internationally trained and American Board-certified, our surgeons bring years of hands-on robotic surgery experience in hepatobiliary and general surgery, gynecology, and urology.
Following a Q&A session, guests toured the robotic operating room, where physicians and team members demonstrated how the da Vinci Xi enhances the surgeons’ capabilities while leaving every movement and clinical decision in their hands.
No matter how advanced our technology becomes, our care will always be human.
