About

Shridhar Ganpathi Iyer is a leading hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeon whose work is shaping the future of minimally invasive surgery and transplant medicine in Asia. His primary research focuses on robotic pancreatic surgery and liver transplantation, particularly within the constraints of low- to mid-volume centers. Iyer’s most significant contribution is his role as a key author on the landmark "International consensus guidelines on robotic pancreatic surgery in 2023," a highly cited work (46 citations) that provides the first evidence-based framework for the safe and effective application of robotic techniques in complex pancreatic procedures. This guideline addresses a critical gap in surgical literature, helping to standardize practice globally. Additionally, his research on "Liver Transplantation in Singapore" offers vital insights into the unique challenges and strategic solutions for centers with lower transplant volumes, addressing issues of organ allocation and surgical outcomes in a multiethnic population. By tackling both high-tech robotic innovation and the practical realities of regional healthcare systems, Iyer’s work is instrumental in expanding access to advanced surgical care and improving patient outcomes across diverse clinical settings.
