About
Shweta Mallick is a pioneering surgeon at the forefront of minimally invasive liver transplantation, whose work is redefining the safety and feasibility of robotic donor hepatectomy. Her research focuses on expanding the criteria for living liver donation through advanced robotic techniques, challenging the traditional dominance of open surgery. In her landmark propensity score matched analysis, Mallick demonstrated that extended criteria donors—those with large grafts or complex biliovascular anatomy—can safely undergo robotic right hepatectomy, a finding that has broadened the donor pool and reduced morbidity. Her comparative study of open versus robotic right donor hepatectomy, cited 14 times, documented a tectonic shift in surgical technique, showing that the robotic approach lowers complication rates without compromising donor outcomes. With over 260 robotic donor procedures performed, her work has amassed more than 40 citations, underscoring its impact on transplant surgery. Mallick’s critical analyses of complications, including her paper “To Err Is Robot,” provide essential safety benchmarks for centers adopting robotic donation. Her achievements are not merely technical; they represent a paradigm shift toward safer, scar-sparing surgery that prioritizes donor well-being while expanding access to life-saving liver transplants.
