About
Dr. Anri Maeda is a pioneering surgeon at the forefront of robotic and image-guided surgery for pelvic malignancies, with a specialized focus on rectal cancer. Her work masterfully integrates advanced technologies to enhance surgical precision and patient outcomes. Dr. Maeda’s major contributions include the development of a novel technique for accurate tumor localization using near-infrared ray-guided surgery with intra-operative colonoscopy and the da Vinci Firefly system, a method that significantly improves the clarity of resection margins. She has also advanced the field by investigating the synergistic benefits of performing robot-assisted laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery in conjunction with robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), demonstrating improved outcomes for patients with complex, multi-organ pelvic disease. Her innovative spirit is further evidenced by her description of a Retzius-sparing approach for en bloc prostatectomy during abdominoperineal resection, a technique designed to reduce morbidity. With a growing body of work that has garnered over 20 citations, Dr. Maeda is also recognized for identifying incomplete lymphatic sealing as a key risk factor for chylous ascites in robotic surgery, directly informing safer operative practices. Her research is essential reading for surgeons seeking to master the next generation of minimally invasive pelvic surgery.
