About the doctor
A surgeon who teaches surgery holds himself to a higher standard
Dr. Abdelrahman Lotfy is a Consultant Surgeon and academic at Cairo University’s Faculty of Medicine (Kasr Al-Ainy), one of the oldest and most respected medical institutions in the Arab world. Alongside an active surgical practice spanning laparoscopic, bariatric, colorectal and robotic surgery, he trains the next generation of surgeons, from undergraduate medical students to postgraduate surgical trainees.
That dual role shapes how he practises. Every decision is grounded in current evidence and international guidelines, not habit or convention, and every patient receives the most advanced approach their condition calls for.

The profile of Dr. Abdelrahman Lotfy, MD, FEBS, MRCS.
Where surgery and teaching meet
Dr. Abdelrahman Lotfy is a Consultant and Lecturer of General, Laparoscopic and Robotic Surgery at Cairo University’s Kasr Al-Ainy Faculty of Medicine, with over a decade of experience performing complex abdominal, upper gastrointestinal and bariatric procedures. His career is built on a dual commitment: advancing patient outcomes through evidence-based practice, and mentoring the next generation of surgeons.
That combination is not a footnote. A surgeon who teaches surgery is accountable to the evidence every day, in front of students and trainees who will question every decision.

Services
Surgical services in Cairo
General, laparoscopic, bariatric, colorectal and robotic surgery, delivered to the academic standards of Kasr Al-Ainy.
Laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery
Minimally invasive surgery through small incisions, using a camera and fine instruments. For most abdominal conditions it means less post-operative pain, shorter hospital stays, faster return to work and better cosmetic results.
- Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal for gallstones)
- Laparoscopic appendicectomy
- Laparoscopic hernia repair
- Diagnostic laparoscopy for unexplained abdominal pain
Bariatric and metabolic surgery
Weight loss surgery is a medical decision, not a cosmetic one. Every candidate is assessed against international criteria, and the procedure is matched to your health profile, eating pattern and metabolic conditions such as type 2 diabetes.
- Sleeve gastrectomy
- Gastric bypass
- Revisional bariatric surgery for previous weight loss procedures that failed or caused complications
- Structured follow-up covering nutrition and long-term results
Robotic surgery
Robot-assisted surgery gives the surgeon three-dimensional vision and instruments that move with a precision beyond the human wrist. Dr. Lotfy applies robotic techniques in selected complex abdominal and colorectal cases where that precision translates into a real clinical benefit.
Colorectal surgery
Diagnosis and surgical treatment of conditions of the colon, rectum and anus, from common complaints treated in a single visit to complex resections planned with a multidisciplinary team.
- Haemorrhoids, anal fissure and fistula
- Pilonidal sinus
- Colon and rectal tumours
- Inflammatory and diverticular disease
Hernia surgery
Laparoscopic and open repair of inguinal, umbilical, epigastric and incisional hernias using modern mesh techniques, with the approach selected to minimise recurrence and recovery time.
General and emergency surgery
The full spectrum of general surgery, including acute abdominal emergencies, soft tissue procedures and thyroid and breast surgery, managed with the same evidence-based standards that govern every elective case.
