About
Sho Kiritani is a pioneering figure in the advancement of robotic hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery, with a focused expertise in minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy and complex pancreatic resections. His major contributions center on establishing the safety and feasibility of robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy (RPD) in Japan, as demonstrated by his landmark multicenter study of 425 patients—the largest such assessment in the country—which has already garnered 7 citations. Kiritani has introduced and refined critical technical innovations, including the left-posterior approach to the superior mesenteric artery during RPD and the jejunum patch technique for robot-assisted central pancreatectomy, both of which enhance oncologic clearance and reduce complications. His scoping review on SMA dissection variations provides a comprehensive roadmap for surgeons navigating the robotic era. With a growing citation impact and a portfolio that bridges open surgical experience with cutting-edge robotic methods, Kiritani is shaping the future of minimally invasive pancreatic surgery, making complex procedures safer and more reproducible for patients and surgeons alike.
