About

Dr. Go Ohira is a leading figure in hepatobiliary surgery, with a focused expertise in minimally invasive techniques and intraoperative imaging. His primary research centers on advancing robot-assisted hepatectomy (RAH), particularly through the application of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging for precise tumor localization. In his most-cited work (2023, 15 citations), Dr. Ohira demonstrated the efficacy of a standardized 0.5 mg/kg ICG dose in visualizing hepatic tumors during RAH, a study involving 30 patients and 33 tumors that validated this approach for improving surgical accuracy. This contribution is pivotal in bridging the gap between fluorescence-guided surgery and robotic platforms, offering a tangible method to enhance oncologic outcomes while minimizing invasiveness. Beyond this, his broader portfolio explores innovations in liver resection and real-time navigation, reflecting a commitment to translating imaging technology into practical surgical solutions. Dr. Ohira’s work has garnered attention for its potential to reduce recurrence rates and operative morbidity, positioning him as a key voice in the evolution of precision hepatobiliary surgery. His research continues to inspire surgeons seeking to integrate advanced visualization into robotic workflows.
