About
Hiroaki Komatsu is a pioneering gynecologic surgeon based at Tottori University Hospital in Japan, whose research sits at the forefront of minimally invasive and robotic-assisted gynecological surgery. His work has been instrumental in evaluating and implementing next-generation robotic platforms, most notably through the first reported use of the Hugo™ RAS system for total hysterectomy — a landmark contribution that has already garnered 13 citations since its 2023 publication. Komatsu has systematically examined learning curves, surgical outcomes, and platform comparisons across multiple robotic systems including da Vinci X, Xi, hinotori™, and Hugo™, providing clinicians with critical evidence to guide adoption decisions. His advocacy for formal certification frameworks in Japanese gynecologic robotic surgery reflects a broader commitment to patient safety and standardization, resonating strongly within the Japan Society of Gynecologic and Obstetric Endoscopy. Beyond robotics, Komatsu has contributed to multidisciplinary cadaveric surgical training and assessed the COVID-19 pandemic's nationwide impact on gynecological practice. With a rapidly growing citation record across publications from 2022 to 2025, he is establishing himself as a leading voice shaping the future of robotic gynecological surgery in Japan and beyond.
