About
Sadhana Shankar is a leading hepatobiliary and transplant surgeon whose research focuses on establishing global benchmarks for liver surgery and advancing the safety of living liver donation. Her landmark work, “Novel Benchmark Values for Open Major Anatomic Liver Resection in Non-cirrhotic Patients,” provides the first standardized reference values for best achievable outcomes in major hepatectomy, enabling meaningful comparisons across centers and surgical indications. With 13 citations since its 2023 publication, this study has become an essential tool for quality assessment in hepatobiliary surgery. Shankar has also made critical contributions to donor safety, investigating the incidence of severe complications in living liver donation. Her 2025 study on real-world data in the era of minimally invasive surgery sheds light on rare but serious events requiring re-operation or intensive care, directly informing protocols to protect living donors. By combining rigorous outcomes research with a focus on patient and donor safety, Shankar’s work is shaping modern standards in liver surgery and transplantation.
