About

Jiann‐Ming Wu is a pioneering hepatobiliary surgeon whose work has significantly advanced the field of minimally invasive liver surgery. His primary research focuses on laparoscopic and robotic donor hepatectomy, techniques that reduce surgical trauma and accelerate recovery for living liver donors. Wu’s major contributions include refining complex procedures such as laparoscopic anatomical hepatectomy and robotic left hepatectomy with revision of hepaticojejunostomy, demonstrating that even the most challenging liver resections can be performed safely with minimal access. His 2018 paper on laparoscopic donor hepatectomy, cited 19 times, highlights the exponential growth in patient numbers and surgical difficulty, underscoring his role in expanding the indications for these techniques. Additionally, his 2014 work on robotic left hepatectomy, with 14 citations, showcases his early adoption of robotic platforms to enhance precision in biliary reconstruction. Wu’s impact is evident in the increasing global adoption of his methods, which have transformed donor surgery into a less invasive, more patient-friendly option. His achievements position him as a key figure in the evolution of hepatobiliary surgery, inspiring future research into robotic and laparoscopic innovations.
