About
Dr. Kyung-Suk Suh is a pioneering surgeon and researcher at the forefront of minimally invasive liver transplantation. His work centers on revolutionizing living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) through laparoscopic and robotic techniques, aiming to reduce surgical trauma and improve recovery for both donors and recipients. Dr. Suh’s major contributions include leading the development of purely laparoscopic explant hepatectomy and hybrid laparoscopic/robotic graft implantation, as detailed in his highly cited 2021 paper (36 citations). He also authored a landmark 2023 study on total robot-assisted recipient surgery, marking a crucial step toward fully robotic liver transplantation. His 2017 expert panel statement on laparoscopic living donor hepatectomy (75 citations) has shaped global clinical guidelines. Through international surveys and collaborative initiatives with the International Laparoscopic Liver Society, Dr. Suh has driven the worldwide dissemination of minimally invasive donor hepatectomy. His work, with papers accumulating hundreds of citations, has established him as a visionary in transplant surgery, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in LDLT and inspiring a new generation of surgeons to embrace innovation.
