About
Dr. Yukihiro Azuma is a pioneering gynecologic surgeon at Tottori University Hospital, whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgery through the integration of robotics and conventional laparoscopy. His major contributions center on optimizing surgical techniques and comparing robotic platforms for benign gynecologic diseases. Notably, his 2023 study on the learning curve of robotic-assisted hysterectomy versus skilled laparoscopic hysterectomy (12 citations) provides critical benchmarks for surgeons transitioning to robotic systems. Dr. Azuma also introduced a novel hybrid technique combining the Hugo™ RAS system with laparoscopy (2024, 7 citations), offering a fixed field of view that enhances precision. His comparative analysis of da Vinci X and Xi systems (2024, 4 citations) delivers valuable cost-effectiveness insights for surgical decision-making. Additionally, his case report on robot-assisted hysterectomy in extremely unusual pelvic anatomy (2022) demonstrates the versatility of robotic approaches in complex scenarios. With a growing citation impact, Dr. Azuma’s work is shaping the future of gynecologic robotics, making surgery safer, more efficient, and more accessible.
