About
Shiromani Janki is a surgical researcher specializing in minimally invasive techniques for living kidney donation, with a particular focus on robot-assisted and laparoscopic donor nephrectomy. Their work sits at the intersection of transplant surgery and surgical innovation, examining how emerging technologies can be safely and effectively integrated into high-volume clinical settings to optimize outcomes for both donors and recipients. Janki's most influential contribution, garnering 35 citations, demonstrated that robotic surgery could be rapidly and successfully implemented within an established laparoscopic program for live donor nephrectomy — a finding with significant implications for transplant centers worldwide. Complementing this, their research comparing 3D endoscopic and robot-assisted donor nephrectomy techniques has helped clarify the practical trade-offs between cost, tactile feedback, and visual precision in surgical decision-making. Janki also contributed the first-ever case report of chylous ascites following robot-assisted donor nephrectomy, advancing awareness of rare postoperative complications. More recently, their work at Leiden University Medical Center further validated the safe adoption of robotic techniques by experienced laparoscopic surgeons. Collectively, Janki's research has meaningfully shaped evidence-based protocols for surgical innovation in live donor transplantation, prioritizing donor safety while embracing technological advancement.
