• Research Funding Award from the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh for his doctoral thesis.
• Recognised for performing the first successful Auxiliary Liver Transplant for Dengue Acute Liver Failure in a paediatric patient.

Published Papers in Medical Journals:
Dr. Reddy has authored over 150 peer-reviewed scientific papers.

• International multicenter study of ultralow graft-to-recipient weight ratio grafts in adult living donor liver transplantation (American Journal of Transplantation, 2024)
• First Report of Two-stage Living Donor Liver Transplantation to Avoid Futility... (Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hepatology, 2024)
• Current Status and Outcomes of Living Donor Liver Transplantation for Pediatric Acute Liver Failure (Pediatric Transplantation, 2024)
• An international survey of venous thromboembolic events... after living donor hepatectomy (Clinical Transplantation, 2024)

Books & Chapters Authored:

• Co-authored a chapter in Gray’s Anatomy.
• Authored chapters on Liver Transplant Pathology, Autoimmune Diseases, and Viral Hepatitis in specialised medical textbooks (2023).

• Miracle for a 4-Month-Old Baby - Parents of a 4-month-old infant with biliary atresia were losing hope. Dr. Reddy performed a complex monosegment liver transplant using a small portion of the mother’s liver. The surgery was a success, and the parents describe Dr. Reddy as "a saviour who gave our baby a second life."
• Innovative Solution for Acute Liver Failure - A young patient suffering from acute liver failure due to toxin ingestion was treated by Dr. Reddy using a rare "Two-stage Living Donor Transplant." This innovative approach stabilised the patient and allowed for a successful transplant, a case now cited in medical journals.
• Compassionate Care for International Patients - A patient from Kenya travelled to India for a liver transplant after being rejected by other centres due to complex anatomy. Dr. Reddy took on the challenge. Post-surgery, the patient remarked, "Dr. Reddy’s confidence is infectious. He explained the risks clearly and delivered on his promise. He is truly a world-class surgeon."

• Patient-Centred Care: Dr. Reddy believes in a "truly multi-disciplinary approach," ensuring that hepatologists, intensivists, and surgeons work as one team. He is deeply committed to improving the overall patient experience, focusing not just on survival but on the long-term quality of life for both donors and recipients.
• Technology & Innovation: Dr. Reddy is at the forefront of transplant innovation. He utilises 3D printing for surgical planning in complex donor hepatectomies and employs novel organ preservation techniques to improve graft quality. His research on biomechanics of liver regeneration directly translates to safer surgeries for living donors.

Treatment costs vary based on the complexity of the case (Paediatric vs Adult, Living vs Deceased Donor) and hospital choice. Below is an estimated cost table for procedures performed by Dr. Mettu Srinivas Reddy.
