About
Naohisa Kuriyama is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive pancreatic surgery, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted techniques. His research centers on refining complex procedures such as distal pancreatectomy and pancreatoduodenectomy to improve patient outcomes. Kuriyama’s major contributions include demonstrating the superiority of the robotic Warshaw procedure over the laparoscopic approach for spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy, significantly reducing the incidence of postoperative splenic infarction. He has also developed innovative techniques to prevent postoperative pancreatic fistula, a common and serious complication, including a novel transpancreatic mattress suture with polyglycolic acid sheet for stump closure and a modified Blumgart anastomosis using a specialized suture device for pancreatojejunostomy. His comparative studies on open, laparoscopic, and robot-assisted pancreatoduodenectomy provide critical insights into the short-term advantages of robotic surgery. With his most cited work from 2024 already accumulating over 8 citations, Kuriyama is rapidly establishing himself as a key innovator in the field, shaping the future of pancreatic surgery through rigorous, outcome-driven research.
