About
Manabu Kawai is a leading surgical oncologist whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques for gastric cancer treatment, particularly through robotic and laparoscopic gastrectomy. His most impactful work includes a landmark randomized clinical trial comparing robotic gastrectomy (RG) to laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG), which demonstrated that RG may reduce intra-abdominal infectious complications—a critical finding that has garnered 27 citations and is shaping perioperative care standards. Kawai has also pioneered the use of the hinotori™ Surgical Robot System, reporting the first case series of robotic gastrectomy with this platform, establishing its feasibility and safety for gastric cancer patients. With over 30 publications and a growing citation impact, his contributions are driving the adoption of robotic surgery in oncology. Kawai’s work not only refines surgical outcomes but also expands access to innovative technologies, making him a key figure in the evolution of gastric cancer surgery. His ongoing research continues to influence clinical practice and inspire future surgeons.
