About

Dr. Estefany Garces-Delgado is a pioneering surgeon-scientist whose work sits at the intersection of hepatobiliary surgery and advanced minimally invasive techniques. Her primary research focus is the optimization of living donor liver transplantation, with a particular emphasis on evaluating the safety and efficacy of robotic-assisted surgery. Her landmark 2022 systematic review and meta-analysis, "Robotic Living Donor Right Hepatectomy," which has garnered 31 citations, critically compared robotic, laparoscopic, and open approaches. This work provided the first robust, aggregated evidence demonstrating that robotic living donor right hepatectomy is a safe and feasible alternative, offering the potential for reduced donor morbidity without compromising graft outcomes. By systematically analyzing data from multiple international centers, Dr. Garces-Delgado has helped establish a benchmark for this emerging field, directly informing surgical protocols and patient counseling. Her contributions are vital for advancing the field of transplant surgery, pushing the boundaries of what is possible to make living donation safer and more accessible. Her rigorous, evidence-based approach marks her as a rising leader in the drive to refine complex surgical procedures through data-driven innovation.
