About
Dr. Hitomi Sasaki is a pioneering robotic surgeon whose work is redefining the standards of care in urogynecology and pelvic reconstructive surgery. Her primary research focuses on the application of advanced robotic systems for complex pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and urologic oncology procedures. Dr. Sasaki’s major contributions include the first clinical case series (2024) evaluating the hinotori—a brand-new, Japanese-made surgical robot—for robotic-assisted sacrocolpopexy (RASC), demonstrating its safety and feasibility in a cohort that has already garnered 6 citations. She has also documented rare and challenging cases, such as robotic surgery for POP with complete bladder eversion (2022), providing critical surgical guidance for this unusual presentation. Further, her work on urethra-preserving strategies during radical cystectomy (2024) offers an optimal management framework in the robotic era, impacting both continence and oncologic outcomes. With a growing citation footprint, Dr. Sasaki is establishing herself as a key figure in the global shift toward next-generation robotic platforms, advancing surgical precision and patient recovery in female pelvic medicine.
