About
Dr. Gozo Kiguchi is a pioneering hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeon whose work is redefining the boundaries of minimally invasive surgery. His primary research focuses on advancing robotic and laparoscopic techniques for complex liver, pancreatic, and biliary procedures. Dr. Kiguchi’s major contributions include demonstrating the safety and efficacy of robotic liver resection (RLR) through a landmark audit of 120 consecutive cases, a study that has garnered 24 citations and provides crucial benchmarks against open and laparoscopic approaches. He is also the innovator of the "Retroperitoneal-First Laparoscopic Approach" (Retlap), a novel technique for locally advanced pancreatic body cancer and incidental gallbladder cancer that enhances resectability and tumor-free margins. Notably, his "wrapping double-mattress anastomosis" for pancreaticojejunostomy in minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy has been shown to significantly reduce postoperative pancreatic fistula rates, a critical advancement in a high-risk procedure. With a growing citation impact and a portfolio of inventive, outcomes-focused studies, Dr. Kiguchi is establishing himself as a leading figure in the next generation of minimally invasive surgical oncology.
