Prashant Bhangui

About

Dr. Prashant Bhangui is a leading hepatobiliary and liver transplant surgeon whose work has significantly advanced the field of living donor liver transplantation, particularly in Asia and through the adoption of robotic techniques. His research focuses on overcoming the unique challenges of liver transplantation in Asian societies, where cultural and economic factors often limit deceased donor programs. In his highly cited 2020 paper (96 citations), he provided a comprehensive analysis of the current status of liver transplantation across Asia, highlighting the critical need for innovation in living donor procedures. Dr. Bhangui has been at the forefront of robotic donor hepatectomy, pioneering the novel "Triple C" (Clip–Clamp–Cut) technique for hepatic duct division, which aims to reduce biliary complications in both donors and recipients. His recent work (2025) further demonstrates that complex donor anatomy does not compromise early outcomes at high-volume centers, reinforcing the safety and efficacy of robotic approaches. Through these contributions, Dr. Bhangui is shaping the future of minimally invasive, donor-safe liver transplantation.
