About
Dr. Glenda Herrera-Cevallos is a pioneering surgeon whose work is reshaping the landscape of living donor liver transplantation through the lens of minimally invasive innovation. Her primary research focus lies in the comparative safety and efficacy of robotic, laparoscopic, and open surgical techniques for donor hepatectomy. Her most cited work, a 2022 systematic review and meta-analysis, critically examined the safety of robotic living donor right hepatectomy (RLDRH) against traditional open and laparoscopic approaches. This landmark study, which has garnered 31 citations, provided crucial evidence on the feasibility and potential advantages of robotic assistance in this complex procedure, helping to define best practices and reduce donor morbidity. By synthesizing data from multiple databases, Dr. Herrera-Cevallos has established a foundational benchmark for future research in robotic transplant surgery. Her contributions are instrumental in advancing the field toward safer, less invasive options for living donors, directly impacting patient recovery and expanding the pool of potential transplant candidates.
