This is a Romanian-language interview (podcast) featuring Prof. Dr. Irinel Popescu discussing his career and views. Key points: Popescu trained in the US (first trip 1991; fellowship in Pittsburgh), returned to Romania and in 2000 founded the hepatic transplant program at Institutul Clinic Fundeni that has performed over 1,000 liver transplants across multiple centers. He describes the hard transition from pioneering to routine practice, the team effort required, the role of press and legislation, and expanding programs (Chișinău, Sfânta Maria, Iași, Sanador, pediatric program). He discusses surgical innovation (robotic telemanipulators vs. autonomous robots; forecast that autonomous surgical robots may operate independently by ~2050), AI’s double-edged effects on clinician role, benchmarks/textbook outcomes in surgery, xenotransplantation progress (transgenic porcine donors, ~69 genomic edits cited, early 2024 experimental xenotransplants reported), and the spiritual dimension of healing and interaction between science and religion. He also covers liver disease prevention (HBV vaccination, HCV curative treatments but continued cancer risk if cirrhosis present, alcohol and drug hepatotoxicity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and metabolic syndrome), and warns about fraudulent medical product advertising online.
