About

Dr. Yuta Abe is a pioneering hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeon whose work is redefining the precision and safety of minimally invasive liver surgery. His primary research focuses on fluorescence-guided surgery, particularly the use of Indocyanine Green (ICG) for real-time navigation during liver resections. His landmark systematic review on ICG fluorescence navigation (173 citations) has become a foundational reference, highlighting both the immense potential and the critical need for standardization in this technique. Dr. Abe is also a leading voice in advancing minimally invasive anatomic liver resection (MIALR), evidenced by his influential global survey of world experts (28 citations). Beyond the liver, he is exploring the frontier of artificial intelligence to enhance navigation in laparoscopic and robotic cholecystectomy, and has developed novel surgical techniques like the "Trac & Pac" method for robotic-assisted liver parenchyma transection. His work also addresses complex clinical challenges, such as distinguishing pancreatic cancer from autoimmune pancreatitis relapse. Through his innovative combination of advanced imaging, AI, and robotic surgery, Dr. Abe is shaping the future of safer, more effective surgical oncology.
