About

Dr. Rahul Sreekumar is a pioneering pediatric transplant surgeon whose work has redefined the boundaries of liver transplantation in children. His primary research focuses on advanced surgical techniques for acute liver failure (ALF) and non-cirrhotic metabolic liver diseases (NCMLD), with a particular emphasis on Auxiliary Partial Orthotopic Liver Transplantation (APOLT). In his landmark 2025 study, Dr. Sreekumar demonstrates how APOLT has evolved from a technical challenge into a sophisticated therapeutic strategy, serving as a temporary bridge to native liver regeneration in ALF and offering a durable cure for NCMLD without lifelong immunosuppression. This work, already garnering 3 citations, has reshaped clinical protocols and expanded treatment options for the most vulnerable patients. Beyond his technical innovations, Dr. Sreekumar is recognized for championing organ-sparing approaches that prioritize long-term quality of life. His contributions have positioned him as a leading voice in pediatric hepatobiliary surgery, inspiring a new generation of researchers to explore regenerative and minimally invasive solutions in transplantation.
