General Surgery

Overview

Our laboratory is conducting researches aiming at improving the outcome of surgical resection for hepatobiliary, pancreas, and breast diseases. Especially for the advanced hepato-biliary-pancreatic malignancies, aggressive surgical resection in combination with multidisciplinary treatment has been carried out, and benefits of chemotherapies followed by radical surgery have been published in several studies. Severe postoperative complications are important issues after hepato-biliary-pancreatic surgery. For clarifying the mechanisms of postoperative complications, we have developed perioperative management including safer resection method and perioperative nutritional management. In contrast, we also perform minimally invasive surgery such as laparoscopic hepato-biliary-pancreatic surgery. In addition, we aggressively perform living and deceased donor liver transplantation for end-stage liver diseases. We also studied how to improve the patient's quality of life by carrying out breast-conserving surgery which reduces the range of resection without losing curability in the region of the breast. For improving the prognosis of breast cancer, we are conducting the basic studies focusing on tumor proliferation, invasion, and metastasis. Through these studies, we have reported a number of clinical and basic research results, and contributed to develop new treatment options in this area.
