About
Waleed Al-hamoudi is a leading hepatologist and transplant specialist whose research focuses on liver transplantation, graft outcomes, and the expansion of donor pools. His most cited work, "Is It Justified to Use Liver Grafts From Living Donors for Retransplant? A Single-Center Experience" (2019, 14 citations), tackles a critical challenge in transplant medicine: the scarcity of deceased donor organs for retransplantation. By demonstrating that living donor grafts can be a viable option for patients with irreversible graft failure, Al-hamoudi challenges conventional Western practices and offers a lifeline to patients in regions with limited access to deceased donors. His contributions extend beyond this study, encompassing efforts to optimize transplant protocols and improve long-term patient survival. With a growing citation impact, Al-hamoudi’s work is shaping global discussions on ethical and practical approaches to retransplantation, particularly in resource-limited settings. His single-center experience provides valuable real-world evidence, making him a key voice in advancing surgical innovation and equitable access to life-saving liver transplants.
