About

Amit Sharma is a transplant and hepatobiliary surgeon whose research sits at the forefront of robotic minimally invasive surgery, with a particular focus on living donor organ procurement, liver resection, and complex biliary procedures. His work has been instrumental in demonstrating that advanced robotic surgical programs — previously confined to high-volume centers in Asia and the Middle East — can be successfully established at lower-volume U.S. institutions. His most-cited study on robotic versus open living donor right hepatectomy has already garnered nine citations since 2025, reflecting rapid uptake of his findings within the transplant community. Sharma has also made meaningful contributions to the debate surrounding donor kidney laterality in robotic nephrectomy, showing that right-sided procurement need not compromise outcomes — a finding with direct implications for expanding the living donor pool. A hallmark of his technical innovation is the "Burn and Push" parenchymal transection technique, which addresses a persistent limitation in robotic liver surgery instrumentation. Across his body of work, Sharma consistently champions the feasibility and safety of robotic approaches in settings where skepticism has historically been high, positioning him as an important emerging voice in surgical innovation and organ transplantation.
