The incredible team at @ClevelandClinic, including ASTS member @moeltemamy, have performed the world's first robotic-assisted transvaginal ipsilateral dual kidney transplant!
“I hope families know how meaningful and generous organ donation truly is," says recipient Janet Yee. 💙

Grateful to have been part of the conversation and help raise awareness about living donation. As transplant waitlists continue to grow, living donation can help make a difference!

Join us in Cleveland for this exciting meeting. Looking forward to many engaging, can’t-miss discussions! @ClevelandClinic
Excited to announce the upcoming Solid Organ Robotic Transplant (SORT) Symposium at Cleveland Clinic. Join leaders in robotic transplant surgery for 2 days of didactics—plus an optional 3rd day hands-on cadaver wet lab.
Limited spots. Stay tuned!

Outstanding work by our @ClevelandClinic transplant fellows in the 2026 ASTS Winter Symposium! 👏
Presenting together with @WKellyWuMD at the #ASTS Winter Symposium. Check out our work from @ClevelandClinic on recipient splenectomy in #LDLT and its impact on survival and long-term outcomes. Thank you @APitaMD for mentorship and guidance!

Congratulations to our @ClevelandClinic liver transplant team on an outstanding 2025! May the new year bring opportunities to continue to positively impact the lives of our patients! #TransplantSurgery #RoboticSurgery @ASTSChimera @AmCollSurgeons
Grateful to @ClevelandClinic for recognizing the work of our transplant team. The continued expansion of our robotic program represents an important pathway to improving recovery after liver transplantation and further optimizing patient outcomes. With the successful completion of multiple cases, we continue to expand the role of robotics in high-complexity transplant surgery #RoboticTransplant #LiverSurgery @ASTSChimera @CleClinicNews

(1/5) Proud of our team at @CleClinicUro for a major milestone: 100+ Robotic Kidney Transplants in 2025 alone (105 and counting!) 🚀
This reflects the unmatched support of our nursing staff and leadership. Truly a team effort. @ASTSChimera @AmCollSurgeons @amjtransplant
Extremely proud of our @ClevelandClinic living donor transplant team for continuing to achieve milestones in our minimally-invasive donor program. The incorporation of robotic surgery has marked another major step forward in our commitment to innovation and patient care. Five left, three right, one right posterior living donor hepatectomies to date - and many more to come #RoboticSurgery @chdkwon #Jkim #Mkhalil @ASTSChimera

Was an honor to present at #WTC2025 Plenary Session! Hypothermic perfusion will help improve outcomes to transplant patients.
First ever comparison shows protecting mitochondria protects livers…and lives!

🚨BREAKING: First-Ever Comparative Study of Hypothermic Oxygenated Machine Perfusion (HOPE) with Normothermic Machine Perfusion (NMP) in Liver Transplantation Shows Better Outcomes With HOPE
Presented at the 2025 World Transplant Congress, the first-ever comparative study shows that Hypothermic Oxygenated Machine Perfusion (HOPE) using the VitaSmart™ Machine Perfusion System leads to better organ and recipient survival than NMP — with fewer post-transplant complications.
This is a major step forward for the future of liver transplantation.
