    Biography

    Dr. Yamaguchi completed his medical degree at Georgetown University School of Medicine and his general surgery residency at Temple University. Following his time in Philadelphia, he relocated to the Bay Area to obtain his abdominal organ transplant fellowship training at UCSF.

    He is returning to San Francisco from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, where he is currently the Assistant Surgical Director of the Living Donor Liver Transplant program, which performs over fifty adult and pediatric living donor liver transplants annually. He also has a special interest in robotic hepatobiliary surgery and is excited to help advance our liver transplant program towards performing living donor hepatectomies with a purely robotic approach, with the goal of shortening recovery time and decreasing incision-related morbidity for donors, as well as increasing community interest in live liver donation.

    Dr. Yamaguchi's research interests include the use of machine learning and artificial intelligence by clinicians in the field of solid organ transplantation, the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma, and the optimization of the pre-liver transplant patient. He has a personal commitment to surgical education and has been heavily involved with residents in the development of training curricula that make use of low- and high-fidelity models to simulate procedures in HPB and transplant surgery, including models that make use of cryobanked cadaveric organs and tissue.
