About
Barbara Buscemi is a leading figure in transplant surgery, with a focused expertise in living donor nephrectomy and the optimization of donor selection protocols. Her major contributions center on the interplay between surgical technique, transplant center volume, and donor anatomy, particularly in the context of mini-invasive procedures. Her landmark ten-year multicentric Italian study, which analyzed data from 21 transplant centers, critically evaluated how these variables influence the decision to select a right or left donor kidney. This work has been instrumental in standardizing best practices across Italy, demonstrating that center experience and surgical approach directly impact donor graft selection and outcomes. With over 14 citations, this study remains a key reference for surgeons navigating the complexities of donor safety and graft viability. Buscemi’s research has helped shape evidence-based guidelines for living donor transplantation, ensuring that anatomical and institutional factors are carefully balanced to maximize both donor well-being and recipient success. Her work continues to influence clinical decision-making in transplant centers worldwide.
