About
Dr. Hiromichi Murase is a pioneering hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeon whose work is redefining the frontiers of minimally invasive oncologic surgery. His primary research focuses on advanced laparoscopic and robotic techniques for complex liver and pancreas resections, with a particular emphasis on anatomical precision and intraoperative safety. Dr. Murase’s most significant contribution is his refinement of the Glissonean pedicle isolation (GPI) technique, leveraging the Laennec’s capsule for inflow control during laparoscopic anatomical liver resection (LALR). This work, published in 2023 and garnering 13 citations, provides a crucial methodological framework for safer, more reproducible segmentectomies. Additionally, he has pioneered the use of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging with da Vinci Firefly technology for real-time blood flow assessment. In a 2023 study, he demonstrated this technique’s utility in preventing ischemic gastropathy during robot-assisted distal pancreatectomy with celiac axis resection (DP-CAR) for locally advanced pancreatic cancer. By solving a critical intraoperative challenge, Dr. Murase’s innovations are directly enhancing patient outcomes and expanding the possibilities of robotic surgery in the treatment of aggressive malignancies.
