About

Hiroshi Haneda is a leading thoracic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly for thymectomy and mediastinal tumor resection. His most-cited work, "Thymectomy using the subxiphoid approach" (2016, 20 citations), represents a pivotal contribution to the field, demonstrating how this innovative technique reduces postoperative pain, improves cosmetic outcomes, and enhances recovery compared to traditional sternotomy or transthoracic approaches. Haneda’s expertise lies in refining surgical access to the anterior mediastinum, and his studies have helped establish the subxiphoid route as a safe, effective alternative for treating myasthenia gravis and thymoma. Beyond this landmark paper, his broader body of work—including comparative analyses of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and robotic-assisted methods—has influenced clinical guidelines and training protocols worldwide. With a career dedicated to merging surgical precision with patient-centered outcomes, Haneda’s contributions have earned him recognition as a pioneer in thoracic surgery, and his research continues to shape best practices for minimally invasive chest procedures.
