About
Luigino Boschiero is a leading figure in transplant surgery, with a career dedicated to advancing living donor kidney transplantation. His research focuses on optimizing surgical techniques and donor selection to improve outcomes and expand the donor pool. In a landmark multicentric study, Boschiero led a ten-year analysis of over 1,000 mini-invasive living donor nephrectomies across 21 Italian centers. This work, which has garnered 14 citations, critically examined the interplay between transplant center volume, surgical approach (laparoscopic vs. retroperitoneoscopic), and anatomical factors in the selection of right versus left donor kidneys. By demonstrating that high-volume centers achieve greater flexibility in graft selection, his findings have directly informed clinical guidelines, helping to reduce donor risk and enhance graft survival. Boschiero’s contributions have been instrumental in standardizing best practices for minimally invasive donor surgery, solidifying his reputation as a key architect of modern, evidence-based living donor transplantation protocols.
