About
Robert C. Minnee is a leading transplant surgeon and researcher whose work is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive organ transplantation. His primary research areas focus on robot-assisted kidney transplantation (RAKT), living donor nephrectomy, and complex renal vascular surgery. Dr. Minnee’s major contributions include demonstrating the safety and efficacy of RAKT as a viable, less invasive alternative to traditional open surgery for kidney recipients, as evidenced by his highly cited 2022 systematic review and meta-analysis (75 citations). He has also pioneered the study of learning curves for minimally invasive donor nephrectomy, analyzing nearly 1,900 consecutive living donors to optimize surgical training and patient outcomes. His work extends to living liver donor safety and innovative treatments for renal artery aneurysms, including ex situ repair and autotransplantation. With a career dedicated to advancing surgical techniques while prioritizing donor and recipient safety, Dr. Minnee’s research provides critical, real-world data that guides clinical practice and sets new standards in transplant surgery.
