About
Dr. Nassim Kamar is a pioneering transplant surgeon whose research focuses on expanding the frontiers of kidney transplantation through robotic-assisted techniques, particularly for high-risk and traditionally excluded patient populations. His major contributions center on demonstrating the safety and efficacy of robotic-assisted kidney transplantation (RAKT) in obese recipients, a group often denied access to conventional surgery due to increased complications. His landmark 2020 study, with 51 citations, provided the first European multi-center evidence that RAKT offers comparable outcomes for obese and non-obese patients, effectively challenging long-standing exclusion criteria. Dr. Kamar further advanced the field by performing the first robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy with endovascular balloon control for an allograft kidney tumor, a novel approach that enhances vascular control during complex tumor resections. His work also extends to ABO-incompatible RAKT, showing that robotic surgery can be safely combined with desensitization protocols for obese recipients. With a portfolio of highly cited papers, Dr. Kamar has redefined what is possible in transplant surgery, offering life-saving options to patients previously deemed ineligible and setting a new standard for minimally invasive, inclusive transplantation.
