About
Dr. Amen Kiani is a pioneering surgeon at the forefront of robotic transplantation, whose work is redefining the standards of care in kidney surgery and hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) training. His research centers on optimizing robotic techniques for living donor nephrectomy and kidney transplantation, demonstrating that robotic approaches yield superior outcomes compared to traditional open and laparoscopic methods. In a landmark 2024 propensity-matched analysis (9 citations), Dr. Kiani showed that robotic kidney transplant significantly improves patient outcomes. He has also proven that robotic donor nephrectomy reduces post-operative opioid use (7 citations) and that dedicated operating room teams are critical for program growth and fellowship training (7 citations). His work extends to surgical education, where he developed robotic performance metrics to objectively model fellow proficiency (6 citations) and surveyed HPB fellows to highlight the importance of robotic training (9 citations). With over 50 citations across his most influential papers, Dr. Kiani is a leading voice in the safe, effective integration of robotics into transplant surgery, shaping both clinical practice and the next generation of surgeons.
