Dr. A. S. Soin is recognized all over the world for his pioneering work in establishing liver transplantation in India. To his credits there are nearly 4,000 liver transplants that include 400 Paediatric liver transplants and an array of different types of liver transplants that has been performed for the first time in India. These numbers of Liver transplantations performed by him are the highest in the country and the second highest in the world. He and his team currently perform 22-25 live donor liver transplants every month with 95% success - results which are at par with the world's best centres. Apart from referrals from all over the country, he handles cases from the rest of South Asia, Middle East and Africa.

Besides running their own highly successful programme, he and his team are also responsible for training most of the remaining liver transplant teams in India and neighbouring countries that have recently started performing this procedure. In his extensive experience of 25+ years as a Liver Transplant Surgeon and Hepatobiliary surgeon, he has performed more than 12,000 other complex liver, gallbladder and bile duct surgeries.

Dr. Soin serves on the committees of all the important National and International Societies, as well as the National Advisory Board in Liver Transplantation. He is a regular Faculty member and speaker (often the only one from India) at most world fora in Liver Transplantation such as ILTS, AASLD, APDW, IHPBA, IASGO, APASL, Asian Living Donor Liver Transplant Group, Asia Pacific Organ Transplant Forum etc.
