About
Dr. Hideki Endo is a leading figure in surgical outcomes research, with a primary focus on minimally invasive colorectal surgery and the systemic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on elective procedures. His most influential work, a 2021 propensity-matched analysis of the National Clinical Database in Japan (78 citations), provides critical, population-level evidence that robot-assisted low anterior resection (RALAR) offers significant perioperative advantages over conventional laparoscopy for rectal cancer. Beyond this landmark comparison, Dr. Endo has leveraged Japan’s comprehensive national registry to conduct pivotal investigations into how the COVID-19 crisis disrupted surgical care. He has meticulously documented the pandemic’s effect on postoperative outcomes for laparoscopic gastrectomy and low anterior resection, and has traced nationwide trends in rectal cancer surgery from 2018 to 2023. By harnessing the power of big data, his work not only validates the safety and efficacy of advanced surgical techniques but also provides essential insights into healthcare system resilience during global emergencies, making his contributions vital for both surgical practice and health policy.
