About
Makoto Sohda is a prominent figure in gastrointestinal surgical oncology, with a focused expertise in esophageal and gastric cancer surgery. His research centers on improving surgical outcomes and reducing life-threatening complications. A major contribution is his leadership in the large-scale, multicenter KSCC DELICATE study, which demonstrated the critical importance of duodenal stump reinforcement to prevent leakage after gastrectomy—a finding that directly informs safer surgical practices. This work has already garnered significant attention with 11 citations shortly after publication. Sohda is also a recognized authority on thoracoscopic esophagectomy, pioneering the use of minimally invasive techniques for esophageal cancer. His work highlights the advantages of thoracoscopic surgery, including enhanced magnification and visualization, which are crucial for the fine, precise manipulation required in the deep, narrow surgical field. Through these contributions, Sohda has advanced the safety and efficacy of complex upper GI surgeries, shaping modern surgical standards and improving patient outcomes.
