About
Tomokazu Fuji is a surgical innovator specializing in robotic hepato-pancreato-biliary (HPB) surgery, with a particular focus on advancing minimally invasive techniques for complex pancreatic procedures. His research has significantly shaped the field of robotic pancreatoduodenectomy (RPD) and distal pancreatectomy, most notably through the development and standardization of superior mesenteric artery (SMA)-first approaches and splenic artery dissection strategies — work that has collectively garnered over 60 citations since 2022. Fuji's contributions extend beyond operative technique. His investigations into Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols in robotic pancreatic surgery and the strategic use of Pfannenstiel incisions in HPB procedures reflect a comprehensive vision of perioperative optimization. Notably, his randomized controlled trial examining educational video's impact on robotic simulation training (TAKUMI-1) demonstrates a commitment to surgical education and trainee development. He has also introduced innovative biliary reconstruction techniques, including double-layer interrupted sutures for hepaticojejunostomy, addressing one of minimally invasive surgery's most technically demanding challenges. His ongoing TAKUMI series, now encompassing standardized robotic liver resection protocols, positions Fuji as a leading voice in the global effort to establish evidence-based frameworks for robotic HPB surgery.
