RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA, April 6, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre (KFSH) has performed the world’s first series of single-port robotic liver resections from living donors, marking a major advancement in organ transplantation. The milestone is particularly significant for donor safety, as living donors are healthy individuals undergoing surgery for the benefit of others. Prof. Dieter Broering, Executive Director of the Organ Transplant Center of Excellence, said the development reflects a structured expansion of robotic liver surgery built on extensive experience. He noted that KFSH has performed more than 1,600 robotic living donor liver resections, the highest volume globally, supported by a progressive model integrating training, simulation, and phased clinical implementation. It is also listed by Newsweek among the World’s Best Hospitals 2026, World’s Best Smart Hospitals 2026, and World’s Best Specialized Hospitals 2026.
