About
Yasser Elsheikh is a pioneering transplant surgeon whose work has fundamentally advanced the integration of robotic surgery into living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). Based at a high-volume transplant center, Elsheikh has dedicated his career to demonstrating the safety, feasibility, and superior outcomes of robotic-assisted techniques across the full spectrum of liver transplantation — from donor hepatectomy to recipient graft implantation. His most celebrated contribution is establishing robotic donor hepatectomy as a credible alternative to open and laparoscopic approaches. His 2020 propensity score-matched analysis (104 citations) provided the first rigorous comparative evidence for robotic right lobe donor hepatectomy, while subsequent single-center registry studies encompassing thousands of cases have cemented its clinical validity. Perhaps most remarkably, Elsheikh co-pioneered fully robotic recipient liver graft implantation — a genuine frontier in transplant surgery — with landmark 2024 publications attracting nearly 50 citations within months of release. His work spans pediatric donor hepatectomy, indocyanine green fluorescence cholangiography integration, and living donor retransplantation, reflecting extraordinary breadth. With a body of work accumulating hundreds of citations, Elsheikh has emerged as one of the defining voices in minimally invasive transplantation, shaping surgical training standards and patient care globally.
