About

Mureo Kasahara is a pioneering researcher whose work bridges pediatric care and advanced surgical techniques, with a particular focus on living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) and innovative therapeutic interventions. His major contributions include advancing minimally invasive donor hepatectomy (MIDH), as highlighted in a 2025 worldwide survey (8 citations) conducted jointly with the International Laparoscopic Liver Society and the International Living Donor Liver Transplantation Group. This study maps global dissemination strategies and barriers to MIDH implementation, shaping future surgical protocols. Kasahara also explores the psychosocial impact of technology in pediatric settings. His pilot study on group robot intervention (GRI) using Sony’s “new aibo” (2021, 22 citations) demonstrated therapeutic potential for pediatric inpatients and their caregivers, marking a novel application of social robotics in clinical environments. With over 30 combined citations from these key works, Kasahara’s research not only refines surgical standards but also humanizes hospital experiences for young patients. His dual focus on cutting-edge transplantation and compassionate care underscores a career dedicated to improving outcomes through innovation and empathy.
