Aidan Byrne moved from Dublin, Ireland, to the United States in 1995. In 2017, Aidan received his life-saving transplant and has been followed by the BIDMC Transplant Institute ever since. He credits much of his success to the dedicated Liver Transplant Team at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and wants others facing similar challenges to know — “BIDMC is the best place for you.”

The Intuitive da Vinci 5 robotic system is transforming living donor liver surgery with unmatched precision and control. Donors at Beth Israel Deaconess experience smaller incisions, less pain, faster recovery, and better cosmetic outcomes, making donation safer and more accessible.

Surgeons also use Indocyanine Green (ICG) fluorescence imaging, which acts like a “liver highlighter” to clearly define vascular structures and separate left and right lobes for safer, more accurate resections. Together, robotics and ICG are advancing the future of liver transplant.

Watching Dr. Martha Pavlakis in action is a reminder that change is possible. She challenges the algorithms that quietly dictate health outcomes, exposing how race-based medical tools harm Black patients, and advocates for solutions grounded in equity and science.

We are proud to have our Medical Director of Kidney Transplantation leading the charge in advocating for patient care. Thank you, Dr. Pavlakis, for all that you do, inside and outside the clinic, for our patients.

“Patients are doing great, and the benefits of the robotic approach are clear,” said Dr. Martin Dib, Director of Hepatobiliary Surgery and Living Liver Donor Transplant Program. “Robotics is proving to be a game-changer in recovery, allowing shorter hospital stays, less pain, and faster return to normal life for patients and donors. Seeing a living donor discharged home on day 3 after major liver surgery is something I’ve never seen before with traditional open approaches.”
