About
Dr. Hideya Kashihara is a leading figure in robotic gastrointestinal surgery, with a primary focus on advanced minimally invasive techniques for gastric and colorectal cancers. His major contributions center on refining robotic gastrectomy, particularly for complex cases such as gastric cancer in patients with situs inversus totalis and rare conditions like gastric adenocarcinoma and proximal polyposis of the stomach (GAPPS). He has demonstrated the utility of robotic approaches for Siewert type II/III adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction and pioneered the left-handed ultrasonic shears technique to improve surgical efficiency. In colorectal surgery, his work on high versus low ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery has provided critical insights into preventing anastomotic leakage, and he has explored hybrid robotic approaches for rectal surgery. With over 80 citations across his most influential papers, Dr. Kashihara’s research has a tangible impact on surgical practice. Notably, his video-illustrated case report on robotic total gastrectomy for situs inversus totalis stands out as a valuable educational resource, showcasing his ability to adapt robotic technology to the most challenging anatomical scenarios.
