About
Dr. Mandana Gholami is a pioneering surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive techniques in transplant surgery, with a particular focus on live-donor nephrectomy. Her most-cited study, "Retroperitoneal robot-assisted live-donor nephrectomy: A single-center study" (2023), addresses a critical bottleneck in kidney transplantation: the shortage of willing donors. By demonstrating the safety and efficacy of a retroperitoneal robotic approach, Dr. Gholami directly tackles donor concerns about operative risk—a major factor influencing the decision to donate. This work not only refines surgical technique to reduce recovery time and complications but also holds the potential to expand the donor pool by making the procedure less daunting. While her citation count is still growing, the practical significance of her research is evident in its immediate relevance to improving patient outcomes and increasing transplant availability. Dr. Gholami’s contributions are vital for a field where every innovation can mean the difference between life on dialysis and a life-saving transplant.
