About
Dr. V. Narayanan Unni is a pioneering figure in the field of robotic-assisted kidney transplantation, with a focused expertise in optimizing surgical techniques for complex graft anatomies. His major contributions center on advancing minimally invasive approaches to renal transplantation, particularly in cases involving grafts with multiple vessels—a traditionally challenging scenario. In his seminal 2019 work, Dr. Unni demonstrated the feasibility and safety of robotic assistance for such grafts, reporting outcomes from a single-center experience that has garnered 19 citations. He further refined the field with his 2018 study on total extraperitonealization of the graft during robotic-assisted renal transplantation, detailing a technique that enhances graft stability and reduces complications across 34 cases (12 citations). These innovations have helped establish robotic transplantation as a viable, less invasive alternative to open surgery, improving recovery times and surgical precision. Dr. Unni’s work is widely recognized for its technical rigor and practical impact, making him a key contributor to the evolution of transplant surgery. His research continues to guide surgeons worldwide in adopting robotic platforms for complex renal transplants.
