Pioneering Minimally Invasive and Microsurgical Liver Transplantation
At King’s Liver Transplant Centre of Excellence, we are leading the way in transforming how liver transplants are performed in the UAE. As a proud extension of King’s College Hospital London, our Dubai-based centre delivers globally recognized expertise in Minimally Invasive Liver Transplantation and Microsurgical Procedures—offering patients safer, faster, and more precise care than ever before.
What is Minimally Invasive Liver Transplantation?
Minimally Invasive Liver Transplantation is a surgical technique that replaces open incisions with small, precise entry points. Using laparoscopic and robotic tools, our surgeons perform liver transplants and liver resections with high precision and minimal trauma.
Key Advantages:
- Shorter hospital stay and faster recovery
- Reduced postoperative pain and complications
- Minimal scarring and quicker return to daily life
- Lower risk of infection and blood loss
This patient-first approach makes complex liver surgeries more tolerable—especially for living liver donors, who benefit significantly from minimally invasive methods.

The Future Is Robotic
How Robotic Technology is Revolutionizing Liver Surgery
At King’s Liver Transplant Centre of Excellence, we redefine what’s possible in liver transplant care. Our integration of advanced robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery delivers precision beyond the limits of the human hand—empowering our surgical team with tools designed for superior outcomes.
We’re utilizing robotic technologies that provide:
| 10x Magnified 3D Vision: Enabling unmatched clarity and detailed visualization of liver anatomy during surgery. | 360° Instrument Articulation: Allowing surgical instruments to mimic the human wrist with full rotational flexibility, ideal for complex anatomical dissections. | Sub-Millimeter Precision: Reducing tissue trauma and enhancing surgical accuracy, especially critical in delicate transplant procedures. |
These capabilities significantly minimize blood loss, shorten recovery time, and reduce postoperative complications, all while maintaining high levels of safety and control.
