About
Jan Lerut is a pioneering figure in hepatobiliary surgery and liver transplantation, with a career-long focus on advancing surgical techniques and donor safety. His key research areas include living donor liver transplantation (LDLT), minimally invasive donor hepatectomy, and immunosuppression management. A landmark contribution is his leadership in the worldwide survey on minimally invasive donor hepatectomy, a joint initiative of the International Laparoscopic Liver Society and the International Living Donor Liver Transplantation Group. This study, published in 2025, systematically mapped the global adoption of MIDH, identifying critical strategies and barriers to implementation—work that has already garnered 8 citations and is shaping best practices in LDLT centers. Beyond this, Lerut has authored numerous highly cited papers on liver transplant outcomes, organ allocation, and surgical innovation. His research has profoundly influenced the shift toward less invasive donor procedures, improving recovery times and reducing complications. With a career spanning decades, Lerut remains a central voice in the field, mentoring a new generation of transplant surgeons and driving evidence-based change in one of surgery’s most complex domains.
