RIYADH: Dr. Majid bin Ibrahim Al-Fayyadh, CEO of King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre, inaugurated the International Consensus Conference on Minimally Invasive Organ Transplantation in Riyadh on Friday, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
The three-day conference “brings together international experts to shape the future of transplant surgery,” according to the SPA, and “aims to develop international guidelines for minimally invasive transplantation through collaborative workshops and expert discussions, thus bridging the gap between available medical evidence and practical applications.”
Following the Danish Consensus model, recommendations will undergo rigorous review before being finalized, the SPA reported.
The conference will include live demonstrations of robotic liver and kidney transplant surgeries, providing participants with “advanced practical applications in minimally invasive organ transplantation techniques,” with the aim of “transferring expertise and familiarizing participants with the latest innovative surgical practices.”
KFSH&RC has already carried out several world firsts in robotic surgery, including the first robotic heart transplant and a complete robotic liver transplant program that has treated 40 patients so far.
The hospital has also been recognized by Newsweek as one of the world’s smartest hospitals for 2025 and named the most valuable healthcare brand in the Kingdom and the Middle East by Brand Finance for 2024, the SPA reported.
