About

Dr. S. Sudhindran is a pioneering hepatobiliary and liver transplant surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive donor hepatectomy, particularly through robotic and laparoscopic techniques. His major contributions center on establishing the safety and efficacy of robotic donor right hepatectomy, challenging traditional open surgery paradigms. His most-cited work, "Robotic Donor Hepatectomy—Safety in Novelty Is the Essence" (2021, 9 citations), argues that innovation must not compromise donor safety—a cornerstone of living donor liver transplantation. With over 260 robotic donor right hepatectomies performed, as detailed in his 2020 study (8 citations), Dr. Sudhindran has demonstrated that robotic approaches can reduce morbidity while maintaining excellent outcomes. His 2023 and 2025 publications further refine techniques, comparing laparoscopic and robotic methods and addressing recipient bile leak rates. Notably, his 2024 work explores robotic radiosurgery for hepatocellular carcinoma with portal vein tumor thrombus, linking tumor response to survival. With cumulative citations approaching 30, Dr. Sudhindran’s work is shaping the future of minimally invasive liver surgery, emphasizing that donor safety and recipient success are inseparable.
