About

Adithya V Naragund is a pioneering hepatobiliary and liver transplant surgeon whose work has significantly advanced minimally invasive surgical techniques in India. His primary research focuses on innovative approaches to complex liver surgeries, particularly the Associating Liver Partition and Portal vein ligation for Staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) procedure. Naragund’s landmark contribution came with the first-ever robotic stage one ALPPS procedure performed in India for colorectal liver metastases, a groundbreaking achievement documented in his most-cited paper (15 citations). This work demonstrated the feasibility and safety of combining robotic precision with the ALPPS technique, which enables resection of previously inoperable liver tumors by inducing rapid liver regeneration. His efforts have expanded the boundaries of surgical oncology, offering patients less invasive options with faster recovery. Beyond this milestone, Naragund has contributed to the broader adoption of robotic surgery in hepatobiliary practice, influencing surgical protocols and training. His research underscores a commitment to translating complex surgical innovations into clinical reality, making him a notable figure in Indian surgical oncology and a valuable resource for students and researchers exploring the intersection of robotics and liver surgery.
