Bibliographic Summary
Dr. Milan Kinkhabwala is the current Chief of the Division of Transplantation at
Montefiore Medical Center and Professor of Surgery at Albert Einstein College of
Medicine in New York.
Dr. Kinkhabwala is a university-based hepatobiliary and transplant surgeon. He
completed surgical training at Cornell University Medical College and formal
hepatobiliary/transplant fellowship at UCLA Medical Center, one of the largest liver
centers in the world. He then joined the faculty at New York Presbyterian Hospital, with
a joint appointment at both Columbia Presbyterian and Weill Cornell Medical Center. He
was a founding partner in the Center for Liver Disease and Transplantation, a
multidisciplinary liver center established at New York Presbyterian Hospital in 1997. At
New York Presbyterian, Dr. Kinkhabwala served as the UNOS surgical director of
pancreas transplantation, and UNOS surgical director of the live donor liver transplant
program.
His practice includes liver transplantation in adults and children, hepatobiliary and
pancreatic surgery, kidney and pancreas transplantation. He has performed over 300 liver
transplants, 200 kidney transplants, and 50 pancreas transplants. He has performed over
100 live donor hepatectomies. He leads an active multidisciplinary group practice in
liver oncology and is an expert in hepatic resectional surgery, radiofrequency ablation,
surgery of the biliary tract and pancreas.
Dr. Kinkhabwala has a national reputation in liver transplantation and is a senior member
of the American Society of Transplant Surgeons and the American Society of
Transplantation, organizations in which he has held and currently holds leadership
positions. As program director of the ASTS fellowship program at New York
Presybterian, he has mentored numerous young surgeons and participated in national
policy in the development of transplant surgical education. He served on the Board of
New York State’s Center for Liver Transplantation (NYCLT) consortium, which
oversees liver transplantation in New York State.
His academic interests include the use of expanded criteria organs for transplantation,
hepatic malignancy, organ preservation and ischemia/reperfusion injury, and has a
federally funded research grant in liver perfusion. He has authored and coauthored
numerous articles and chapters, and lectures regularly both regionally and internationally
on liver and transplant related topics. Dr. Kinkhabwala has been a committed surgical
educator. He has directed liver related teaching conferences for residents and fellows,
and was the Fellowship Program Training Director for New York Presbyterian Hospital.
Fellows who finished the training program under Dr. Kinkhabwala’s guidance are leaders
in academic surgical and transplant programs nationwide.
