About
Dr. Su young Hong is a pioneering surgeon at the forefront of minimally invasive liver transplantation, whose work is redefining the boundaries of living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). Her research focuses on developing and refining purely laparoscopic and robotic techniques for both the donor and recipient procedures. Dr. Hong’s major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility of purely laparoscopic explant hepatectomy and hybrid laparoscopic/robotic graft implantation, a landmark achievement detailed in her 2021 paper (36 citations). She has further advanced the field with the first total robot-assisted recipient surgery, described in a 2023 study (20 citations), marking a crucial step toward fully robotic LDLT. Her early work on developing pure laparoscopic techniques for recipients (13 citations) has been instrumental in launching minimally invasive LDLT programs. With a cumulative impact of over 69 citations on these key papers alone, Dr. Hong is a leading innovator, pushing the envelope of surgical technology to reduce invasiveness and improve outcomes for liver transplant patients.
