About
Graham Starkey is a leading researcher in hepatobiliary surgery and transplantation, with a particular focus on optimizing surgical techniques for living donor hepatectomy. His most impactful work, a 2022 systematic review and network meta-analysis, directly compares outcomes across five surgical approaches—open, mini-laparotomy, hybrid, totally laparoscopic, and robotic—for living donor right hepatectomy. This landmark study, cited 34 times, provides critical evidence guiding surgeons in selecting the safest and most effective method, balancing donor safety with procedural innovation. Starkey’s contributions have advanced the field by clarifying the relative benefits of minimally invasive techniques, including reduced blood loss and shorter hospital stays, while highlighting the need for rigorous training and patient selection. His work is widely referenced in clinical guidelines and surgical education, underscoring its impact on practice. Beyond this meta-analysis, Starkey’s research portfolio emphasizes evidence-based improvements in transplant outcomes, donor morbidity reduction, and the integration of robotic surgery into mainstream hepatobiliary care. His systematic approach and collaborative network meta-analyses have made him a trusted voice in the ongoing evolution of living donor liver transplantation.
