About
Dr. Seong Mi Yang is a pioneering surgeon at the forefront of minimally invasive hepatobiliary and transplant surgery. Her research focuses on advancing laparoscopic and robotic techniques to revolutionize living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). Dr. Yang’s major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility of a purely laparoscopic explant hepatectomy combined with a hybrid laparoscopic/robotic graft implantation, a landmark achievement detailed in her 2021 paper (36 citations). She further pushed boundaries by describing the first total robot-assisted recipient surgery in LDLT, a groundbreaking 2023 report (20 citations) that represents a critical step toward fully robotic liver transplantation. Beyond transplant surgery, Dr. Yang has also investigated anesthetic management, notably finding that excessive remifentanil during total intravenous anesthesia is linked to increased postoperative pain after robotic thyroid surgery (2018, 8 citations). Her work is characterized by a relentless pursuit of less invasive surgical options, aiming to reduce trauma and improve recovery for complex transplant patients. With her innovative techniques and high-impact publications, Dr. Yang is shaping the future of robotic surgery in liver transplantation.
