About
Dr. Ki Won Song is a leading anesthesiologist and researcher specializing in the perioperative management of living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). Her work addresses the unique challenges of this life-saving procedure, which was pioneered in Asia to overcome critical shortages of deceased donor organs. Dr. Song’s most cited paper, “Perioperative management of living donor liver transplantation: Part 2 – Donors” (2022, 21 citations), provides essential guidance on optimizing donor safety and outcomes—a cornerstone of ethical LDLT practice. This contribution is particularly significant given the complexity of managing healthy donors undergoing major surgery for altruistic purposes. Her research has helped establish standardized protocols that minimize complications and improve recovery for both donors and recipients. Dr. Song’s expertise is widely recognized in the transplant community, where her work supports the expansion of LDLT as a viable option for patients with end-stage liver disease. Through her meticulous focus on perioperative care, she continues to advance the safety and efficacy of this transformative surgical approach.
