About
Katsuhisa Ohgi is a leading figure in pancreatic surgery, with a focused expertise in minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy (MIDP) and the prevention of its most formidable complication: postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF). His major contribution is the design and leadership of the WRAP Study, a landmark multicenter randomized controlled trial in Japan that rigorously investigates the efficacy of wrapping the pancreatic stump with polyglycolic acid mesh and fibrin glue. This work directly addresses a critical clinical need, as POPF remains the most common and serious complication following distal pancreatectomy. While his most-cited paper (7 citations) is a recent protocol, its publication in 2024 signals a rapidly growing impact and the high-stakes nature of the research. Ohgi’s work is notable for its pragmatic, high-quality trial design aimed at establishing a new standard of care, positioning him as a key contributor to improving surgical outcomes and patient safety in pancreatic surgery.
