About
Dr. Sudheer Othiyil Vayoth is a pioneering hepatobiliary and liver transplant surgeon whose work is redefining the standards of living-donor liver surgery. His primary research focus is the advancement of minimally invasive techniques, specifically robotic-assisted donor hepatectomy. Dr. Vayoth’s major contribution lies in demonstrating that robotic right donor hepatectomy (RDH) is not only feasible but can be performed safely even in complex scenarios, including donors with large grafts or challenging biliovascular anatomy—a population previously considered high-risk for minimally invasive approaches. His landmark paper, “Extended criteria donors for robotic right hepatectomy,” has garnered 16 citations, while his comparative study, “Open to robotic right donor hepatectomy: A tectonic shift in surgical technique,” has been cited 14 times, collectively establishing a robust evidence base for this paradigm shift. By systematically comparing outcomes between open and robotic techniques, Dr. Vayoth has provided compelling data on reduced morbidity, effectively challenging the status quo and accelerating the adoption of robotic surgery in living-donor transplantation. His work is instrumental in making donor surgery safer and less invasive, directly benefiting both donors and recipients.
