About
Prof. Dr. med. Lutz Fischer is Director of the Department of Visceral Transplant Surgery at the University Transplant Center (UTC) at University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE), one of Europe's most experienced transplant centers. He heads one of Germany's largest pediatric transplant programs and one of the few nationwide programs providing living-donor liver transplants to infants and young children. In March 2025, as lead surgeon, he performed the UKE's 1,000th pediatric liver transplant — a seven-hour operation transplanting a partial living-donor liver to an 18-month-old boy.
