Her research interests center on pelvic floor dysfunction, including the pathophysiology of anismus, rectal inertia, and gastroesophageal reflux, as well as innovative treatments for anal fistulas and erectile dysfunction. She has extensively studied electrophysiological mechanisms of the anal and urethral sphincters and their role in continence.

Dr. El-Sibai's publications reveal a consistent focus on functional gastrointestinal and urological disorders, with an emphasis on diagnostic innovation and minimally invasive surgical techniques. Her work bridges clinical practice with physiological investigation, particularly in neuromuscular control of pelvic organs.

She has received research support from prestigious institutions including the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Medical Research Council (MRC), and Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), reflecting the international recognition of her work.
