About

Dr. Gomathy Narasimhan is a pioneering surgeon specializing in minimally invasive and robotic donor hepatectomy, with a focused expertise in pediatric liver transplantation. Her major contributions center on advancing surgical techniques to improve outcomes for both donors and recipients, particularly in the delicate context of living-donor liver transplantation. Her landmark 2023 paper, "Experience With Establishing a Robotic Donor Hepatectomy Program for Pediatric Liver Transplantation" (21 citations), details the successful implementation of a robotic left lateral sectionectomy program, emphasizing the critical need for rapid donor recovery—often the child’s parent. Building on this, her 2024 propensity score matched analysis (10 citations) rigorously examines the impact of donor warm ischemia time during right lobe robotic hepatectomy on recipient outcomes, providing essential safety data for this evolving field. Through these works, Dr. Narasimhan has demonstrated that robotic techniques can minimize donor morbidity while maintaining excellent graft function, setting new standards for pediatric transplant surgery. Her research has garnered significant attention, with her most cited papers collectively accumulating over 30 citations, reflecting her influence in shaping safer, more patient-centered approaches to living-donor liver transplantation.
