About
Dr. Thekke Adiyat Kishore is a pioneering robotic surgeon whose work has redefined the boundaries of minimally invasive transplant and urologic oncology. His primary research focuses on advancing robotic-assisted kidney transplantation (RAKT), particularly for complex cases involving multiple vessels, and on refining techniques for radical nephrectomy with inferior vena cava thrombectomy. Dr. Kishore’s major contributions include demonstrating the safety and feasibility of RAKT beyond the initial learning curve, as evidenced by his landmark 8-year single-center experience (10 citations), which showed outcomes comparable to open surgery. He has also been instrumental in developing novel approaches to reduce complications, such as the peritoneal distraction technique to prevent symptomatic lymphoceles after Retzius-sparing radical prostatectomy. His work on renorrhaphy-less partial nephrectomy using Veriset™ represents a forward-thinking effort to minimize warm ischemia time. With his most cited paper on robotic kidney transplantation in grafts with multiple vessels (19 citations), Dr. Kishore has established himself as a leader in expanding the indications for robotic surgery, making complex procedures safer and more accessible for patients worldwide.
