About

Dr. Hitoe Nishino is a leading hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for complex abdominal procedures. Her major contributions center on standardizing and improving the safety of minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy (MIPD) and anatomic liver resections (MIALR). Her highly cited systematic review on surgical approaches to the superior mesenteric artery during MIPD (43 citations) provides a critical framework for surgeons navigating this technically demanding step, helping to reduce complications and improve patient outcomes. Additionally, her survey of world experts on MIALR (28 citations) has been instrumental in identifying best practices and areas for standardization in a procedure that has not yet been uniformly adopted. Through these works, Dr. Nishino has helped bridge the gap between expert practice and broader surgical adoption, directly impacting the evolution of minimally invasive hepatopancreatobiliary surgery. Her research is essential reading for surgeons and trainees seeking to master these advanced techniques.
