About
Dr. Jorge Almario‐Alvarez is a pioneering surgeon at the forefront of robotic-assisted kidney and pancreas transplantation, with a particular focus on expanding access for high-risk populations. His major contributions center on demonstrating the safety and efficacy of robotic kidney transplantation (RAKT) from deceased donors, especially in patients with morbid obesity—a group often excluded from traditional open surgery. In a landmark single-center study (2023, 12 citations), his team achieved outstanding 5-year patient survival (93.7%) and death-censored graft survival (86.2%), significantly outperforming UNOS-matched cohorts. Dr. Almario‐Alvarez has also explored the clinical utility of robotic simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplants (2023, 8 citations) and analyzed the impact of cold ischemia time on the largest reported RAKT cohort (2024, 3 citations). Further showcasing his innovative approach, he developed a machine learning decision tree model (2024, 3 citations) to predict the optimal surgical approach—open versus robotic—improving preoperative decision-making. With over 26 citations across his most influential works, Dr. Almario‐Alvarez is shaping the future of minimally invasive transplant surgery, pushing boundaries to improve outcomes for the most challenging patients.
