For treatment of intractable gastroparesis, UF has implanted permanent gastric electrical stimulation devices in 175 children and temporary gastric electrical stimulation devices in more than 250 children, making UFHealth the highest volume center for managing these complex patients in the world. He has also performed successful separation of 4 sets of Conjoined Twins over the past 6 years. Dr. Islam’s research focuses on performing outcomes-based research pertinent to all aspects of pediatric surgery as he works to develop models of care that will allow for improved clinical care in the future. He has involved UF in multiple research consortia to better understand outcomes nationally and effect change in management strategies. In addition, he is very passionate about equitable care for children in Florida, the United States, as well as Globally – with research focusing on inequity and variability in care based on race or gender or poverty.
