One year ago, our first fully robotic liver transplant marked an important milestone. Since then: • 15 fully 🤖 LTs (12 LDLTs) • 6 hybrid 🤖 LDLTs • 44 🤖 donor hepatectomies • 400+ 🤖 liver cases From scattered robotic practice to a programmatic approach since 2022. Now consistently performing fully robotic LDLT with simultaneous donor + recipient teams. A program built step by step, and a team that makes it work. #LiverTransplantation #RoboticSurgery #iLDLT

When Vicky needed a liver transplant, her friend Zoë donated part of hers. 💚 Thanks to expert care at @nyphospital, @weillcornell & Drs. @juampirocca and @BenSamstein, their journey became a success. Now they’re raising awareness. You can help: 🔗engdr.co/6-302904

This week at NYP/Weill Cornell we completed our 3rd robotic liver transplant, this time using a right lobe living donor graft. Amazing team effort running 2 simultaneous robotic rooms for donor and recipient.

Embracing a "robotic-preferred approach" in 2022 significantly changed our division's practice of liver surgery and transplantation during 2023, expanding MIS benefits to complex hepatectomies, donor hepatectomies, and hepatectomy during transplantation.
