About
Daisuke Fukumori is a leading surgeon-researcher advancing the field of robotic hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) surgery, with a focus on minimally invasive liver resection. His major contributions center on establishing the safety, efficacy, and learning curves of robot-assisted liver surgery (RLS), particularly in complex patient populations. Through a series of propensity-score matched studies at a high-volume Danish center, Fukumori has demonstrated that RLS offers short-term outcomes comparable to open surgery, with benefits including reduced blood loss and shorter hospital stays, even in elderly patients. His work on the first 100 patients at Rigshospitalet Copenhagen provided critical benchmarks for the learning curve, showing that robotic liver surgery can be safely adopted with appropriate training. Fukumori has also pioneered the use of robotic Harmonic curved shears for liver parenchyma dissection and contributed to international benchmark values for robotic right hepatectomy. His research, with papers accumulating over 50 citations, has been instrumental in validating RLS as a standard approach, transforming HPB surgery through real-time image guidance and augmented reality. Fukumori’s work is essential reading for surgeons and researchers interested in the future of robotic surgery.
