About
Dr. Carolina Liu-Sanchez is a pioneering hepatobiliary and transplant surgeon whose work is redefining the frontiers of minimally invasive liver surgery. Her primary research focus is the advancement of robotic and laparoscopic techniques in living donor liver transplantation, with a specific emphasis on improving donor safety and postoperative outcomes. Her seminal work, the 2022 systematic review and meta-analysis "Robotic Living Donor Right Hepatectomy," is a landmark contribution that critically compared robotic, laparoscopic, and open approaches. By systematically analyzing data from seven databases, Dr. Liu-Sanchez provided the first robust evidence demonstrating that robotic living donor right hepatectomy (RLDRH) is not only feasible but offers significant advantages in reducing blood loss and shortening hospital stays compared to traditional open surgery, while maintaining equivalent graft quality. This highly cited study (31 citations) has become a foundational reference for surgical teams worldwide, directly influencing clinical protocols and accelerating the adoption of robotic platforms in transplant centers. Her work stands as a testament to her commitment to innovation, patient safety, and the rigorous evidence needed to transform complex surgical practice.
