About
Dr. Jun Sugimura is a pioneering robotic surgeon whose work is reshaping the landscape of urologic oncology. His primary research focuses on the comparative effectiveness of emerging surgical robotic platforms and the optimization of long-term renal outcomes following minimally invasive procedures. Dr. Sugimura’s most impactful contributions include a landmark comparative study of step-specific operative times between the established da Vinci system and the novel hinotori surgical robot system during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (2025, 4 citations). This work provides critical, granular data for surgical teams adopting new technologies. He has also made significant strides in nephron-sparing surgery, using 99m-Tc DTPA renal scintigraphy to meticulously assess long-term split renal function after robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (2021, 3 citations), identifying key clinical factors that predict functional decline. Further demonstrating his technical virtuosity, Dr. Sugimura reported a rare and challenging case of robot-assisted radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma in a horseshoe kidney (2025, 1 citation), showcasing innovative intraoperative techniques with indocyanine green and near-infrared imaging. Through these contributions, Dr. Sugimura is advancing the precision and safety of robotic urologic surgery.
