About

Dr. N. Fossati is a specialist in anaesthesiology with a focused research interest in the perioperative management of laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy. Their major contribution lies in articulating the unique anaesthesiologist’s perspective on this complex surgical procedure, addressing critical challenges such as hemodynamic stability, fluid management, and pain control in the context of organ shortage. By highlighting the increasing waiting times for cadaveric kidney transplants—from 3 years in 1990 to 8–10 years at their institution—Fossati underscores the growing reliance on live donors and the corresponding need for optimized anaesthetic protocols. Their most-cited work, published in 2004, has garnered 4 citations, reflecting its role as a foundational reference for clinicians navigating this evolving field. Fossati’s research bridges a crucial gap between surgical innovation and anaesthetic safety, offering practical insights that enhance donor outcomes and support the expansion of live kidney transplantation. This work remains a valuable resource for anaesthesiologists and transplant teams striving to improve perioperative care in the face of persistent organ scarcity.
