About

Fuminori Mihara is a leading figure in hepatobiliary surgery, whose work bridges historical perspective with cutting-edge intraoperative technology. His research centers on the evolution of liver surgery and the refinement of surgical techniques to improve patient outcomes. Mihara’s most impactful contribution is his comprehensive review, "The history of liver surgery: Achievements over the past 50 years" (2020, 81 citations), which meticulously chronicles the technological advances and pioneering surgeons that transformed hepatectomy from a high-risk procedure into a safer, more routine operation. This work serves as a foundational reference for surgeons and trainees alike. More recently, he has explored the "Added value of indocyanine green fluorescence imaging in liver surgery" (2021, 15 citations), demonstrating how real-time visualization can enhance precision in tumor resection and biliary mapping. By contextualizing modern innovations within the rich history of the field, Mihara provides invaluable insight into both where liver surgery has been and where it is headed, solidifying his role as a thoughtful contributor to surgical science and education.
