About
Yahia Saleh is a leading figure in hepatobiliary and transplant surgery, with a focused expertise in living donor liver transplantation and minimally invasive surgical techniques. His most impactful work centers on advancing robotic surgery in transplantation, as demonstrated by his landmark 2020 study comparing robotic versus open right lobe donor hepatectomy. This propensity score–matched analysis, cited over 100 times, provided critical evidence on the safety and efficacy of robotic donor hepatectomy—a procedure rarely performed at the time—helping to establish a foundation for broader adoption of robotic approaches in living donor liver transplantation. Saleh has also tackled the ethically and technically challenging area of using living donor grafts for liver retransplantation, contributing valuable single-center data to a field where deceased donor grafts are the norm. His research addresses pressing questions in transplant surgery, balancing innovation with patient safety. With a citation profile anchored by a highly influential study, Saleh’s work has shaped clinical decision-making and opened new avenues for minimally invasive transplant surgery, making him a key contributor to the evolution of modern hepatobiliary practice.
