About
Jong Man Kim is a leading figure in the field of hepatobiliary surgery and liver transplantation, with a particular focus on advancing minimally invasive techniques. His major contributions center on the global dissemination and standardization of minimally invasive donor hepatectomy (MIDH), a critical procedure in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). As a co-author of a landmark 2025 worldwide survey—a joint initiative of the International Laparoscopic Liver Society and the International Living Donor Liver Transplantation Group—Kim helped map the exponential growth of MIDH across centers globally. This work, which has already garnered 8 citations, identifies key strategies and barriers to implementation, providing a roadmap for surgeons and institutions aiming to adopt these less invasive approaches. By systematically analyzing global practices, Kim’s research directly impacts patient recovery and donor safety, making him a pivotal voice in the evolution of liver transplant surgery. His ongoing efforts continue to shape clinical protocols and inspire the next generation of transplant surgeons.
