About

Hajime Ushigome is a pioneering surgeon and researcher at the forefront of robotic colorectal surgery, with a focus on improving both patient outcomes and surgical education. His major contributions center on the feasibility and safety of advanced robotic platforms, such as the hinotori™ surgical robot system, which he validated in right colectomy procedures—a study that has already garnered 6 citations since 2025. Ushigome has also developed innovative techniques for complex cases, including robot-assisted laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection with en bloc prostatectomy using the Retzius-sparing approach, addressing a critical gap in rectal cancer surgery. His work on risk factors for chylous ascites after robotic rectal cancer surgery has provided essential insights into postoperative complications, while his "role-sharing surgery" education system offers a novel framework to increase operative opportunities for beginners without compromising quality. With a growing citation impact across these studies, Ushigome’s research not only advances surgical precision but also fosters the next generation of robotic surgeons, making him a key figure in the evolution of minimally invasive surgery.
