About
Paola Incollingo is a leading figure in transplant surgery, with a focused expertise in robotic-assisted laparoscopic living donor nephrectomy (RALDN) and its impact on donor and recipient outcomes. Her major contribution lies in systematically evaluating the safety and efficacy of minimally invasive surgical techniques for kidney transplantation. Her most-cited work, a 2019 systematic review with 37 citations, critically synthesizes evidence on intraoperative and postoperative outcomes for both donors and graft recipients, establishing benchmarks for robotic-assisted procedures. This research has helped shape clinical protocols by demonstrating that RALDN can reduce donor morbidity while maintaining excellent graft function. Beyond this flagship paper, Incollingo’s body of work advances the field by addressing key challenges in living donation, including pain management and recovery times. Her rigorous methodology and patient-centered approach have made her a trusted voice in transplant surgery, influencing how surgical teams adopt robotic technologies. For students and researchers, her studies offer a clear roadmap for evaluating emerging surgical innovations against traditional standards, underscoring the importance of evidence-based practice in improving lives through transplantation.
