About
Giuliano Testa is a pioneering transplant surgeon whose career sits at the intersection of solid organ transplantation, minimally invasive surgical techniques, and reproductive medicine. He is perhaps best known as the lead surgeon behind the first live birth following uterus transplantation in the United States, a landmark 2018 achievement that garnered over 200 citations and fundamentally reshaped the treatment landscape for women with absolute uterine factor infertility. Through the Dallas UtErus Transplant Study (DUETS), Testa and his team have systematically advanced the field, documenting donor outcomes, refining robotic-assisted procurement techniques, and contributing to a national consortium report on the first five years of uterine transplantation in the U.S. Alongside this groundbreaking reproductive transplant work, Testa has made significant contributions to living donor nephrectomy, demonstrating that robotic assistance reduces the learning curve and can safely accommodate complex vascular anatomy. His scholarship extends to robotic liver surgery and transplantation, where he has helped articulate minimally invasive approaches as the natural evolution of surgical practice. Across his body of work, Testa exemplifies how rigorous surgical research can transform once-untreatable conditions into viable clinical realities.
