About
Eigo Otsuji is a leading figure in gastrointestinal surgical oncology, with a primary focus on esophageal and gastric cancers. His work is distinguished by a commitment to refining radical surgical techniques and improving postoperative outcomes. A major contribution is his pioneering work on the transmediastinal approach for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), a procedure that addresses the extensive mediastinal spread common in Asian populations, as detailed in his highly cited 2019 paper (40 citations). Otsuji has been instrumental in evaluating the benefits of robotic surgery, demonstrating its superiority over laparoscopic methods for both distal gastrectomy and rectal cancer, particularly in reducing complications like pancreatic fistula and urinary dysfunction. His research also provides critical insights into the prognostic impact of postoperative complications, notably identifying pancreatic fistula as a pivotal factor in poor prognosis for gastric cancer patients. Through his rigorous risk assessment studies and comparative analyses, Otsuji is shaping a new standard for minimally invasive, safer, and more effective cancer surgery.
