About
Dr. Rajesh Rajalingam is a pioneering surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive techniques in living donor liver transplantation, with a particular focus on robotic surgery. His major contributions include establishing and refining robotic donor hepatectomy programs, especially for pediatric recipients. Notably, he authored the first report of a robotic monosegment donor hepatectomy for infants under 5 kg, addressing the critical challenge of large-for-size grafts. His 2023 paper on establishing a robotic donor hepatectomy program for pediatric liver transplantation has garnered 21 citations, underscoring its impact on surgical practice. Dr. Rajalingam has also investigated the effect of donor warm ischemia time on recipient outcomes, using propensity score matching to enhance surgical safety. With a cumulative citation count exceeding 45, his work is shaping global standards in robotic liver transplantation. His recent publication on the global dissemination of robotics in liver transplantation highlights his role as a thought leader, advocating for wider adoption of these techniques to improve donor recovery and recipient outcomes.
