About
Dr. Eddy Lincango-Naranjo is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotic surgery, transplant medicine, and aerospace biomedical engineering. His work has fundamentally advanced the safety and efficacy of minimally invasive procedures, most notably through his landmark systematic review and meta-analysis on robotic living donor right hepatectomy (RLDRH). This highly cited 2022 study (31 citations) provided the first comprehensive evidence comparing robotic, laparoscopic, and open approaches, demonstrating that robotic techniques can significantly reduce complications in living donor liver transplantation—a critical contribution to expanding the donor pool. Dr. Lincango-Naranjo also leads the visionary SY-MIS Project (Space System for Minimally Invasive Surgery), a biomedical design initiative that has garnered 21 citations for its groundbreaking work in creating endo-robotic and laparoscopic training systems applicable both on Earth and in space. This project, initiated in 2016, positions him as a key figure in preparing for surgical care in extraterrestrial environments. His dual focus on immediate clinical impact and future space medicine makes him a transformative voice in modern surgery.
