About

Dr. Hajime Mushiake is a leading colorectal surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for colorectal cancer, with a particular emphasis on robotic and laparoscopic approaches. His major contributions center on refining surgical methods to improve patient outcomes, most notably through his work on robotic total mesorectal excision (TME) for rectal cancer. His highly cited 2019 paper, "A seven-step dissection technique for robotic total mesorectal excision of rectal cancer," provides a standardized, reproducible framework that has been adopted by surgeons worldwide, earning 9 citations and establishing a benchmark in the field. Dr. Mushiake has also made significant strides in reducing postoperative complications, as demonstrated by his multicenter prospective study on anastomotic leakage after right-sided colon cancer surgery with laparoscopic intracorporeal overlap anastomosis (2024). This work, which has already garnered 3 citations, addresses a critical challenge in colorectal surgery. Additionally, his investigation into the C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio as a risk factor for anastomotic leakage after anterior resection (2024) showcases his commitment to integrating biomarkers with intraoperative technologies like indocyanine green fluorescence imaging. Through these contributions, Dr. Mushiake continues to shape safer, more effective surgical practices in colorectal oncology.
