About
Zenichi Morise is a leading surgical oncologist whose research sits at the intersection of minimally invasive surgery, hepatobiliary surgery, and robotic-assisted techniques. His work has significantly advanced the understanding of laparoscopic and robotic approaches to liver resection and rectal cancer surgery, with a particular focus on comparing outcomes across these evolving platforms. Morise has made landmark contributions to the technical refinement of liver surgery, most notably developing the caudal approach with postural changes for laparoscopic resection of challenging posterosuperior tumors — a technique that has garnered 42 citations and redefined how surgeons approach anatomically difficult lesions. His rigorous propensity-score matched analyses comparing robotic and laparoscopic hepatectomies across multiple resection types have collectively accumulated over 150 citations, providing the surgical community with high-quality comparative evidence during a pivotal era of robotic adoption. Beyond hepatobiliary surgery, Morise has championed the double bipolar method for robotic total mesorectal excision in rectal cancer, and has been among the first to evaluate next-generation platforms such as the hinotori™ Surgical Robot System against the da Vinci standard. His breadth of contributions, from technical innovation to rigorous clinical evaluation, makes him an influential voice shaping the future of minimally invasive surgical oncology.
