About

Dr. Yoshihiro Miyasaka is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive hepato-biliary-pancreatic (HPB) surgery, with a specific focus on standardizing complex procedures. His key research areas include the technical refinement and global dissemination of laparoscopic and robotic anatomic liver resections. Dr. Miyasaka’s major contribution lies in systematically defining the state-of-the-art for these challenging operations. His highly cited 2021 survey of world experts, which has garnered 28 citations, established critical benchmarks and consensus points for performing minimally invasive anatomic liver resection (MIALR), directly addressing the lack of standardization in the field. Furthermore, his 2017 work profiling the pioneers of laparoscopic HPB surgery (21 citations) provides an invaluable historical and technical roadmap for surgeons. By documenting the evolution from early limitations—such as two-dimensional views and reduced tactile feedback—to current advanced techniques, Dr. Miyasaka has helped shape modern surgical practice. His work serves as a crucial guide for both aspiring and experienced hepatobiliary surgeons, ensuring safer and more reproducible outcomes in this demanding surgical frontier.
