About
Dr. Shuhei Ueno is a pioneering robotic surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive techniques for gastric and pancreatic cancers, with a particular focus on intraoperative vascular assessment. His most impactful contribution is the development and validation of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging to evaluate anastomotic blood flow during robotic distal gastrectomy—a technique that directly addresses the critical complication of remnant gastric ischemia. This landmark study, with 9 citations, has established a new standard for preventing anastomotic failure. Dr. Ueno has further demonstrated the versatility of this approach in exceptionally challenging cases, including a patient with situs inversus totalis and vascular anomalies, and in a novel combined robotic distal gastrectomy and distal pancreatectomy procedure that successfully avoided total gastrectomy. His work showcases how real-time fluorescence guidance can expand the boundaries of what is surgically possible, enabling safer, more organ-preserving resections. By systematically proving the feasibility and safety of these advanced robotic techniques, Dr. Ueno is shaping the future of precision oncologic surgery.
