About

Dr. Marcus Fernando Kodama Pertille Ramos is a leading figure in surgical oncology, with a focused expertise in minimally invasive and robotic approaches for gastric cancer treatment. His major contributions center on demonstrating the safety, feasibility, and oncological efficacy of laparoscopic and robotic gastrectomy, particularly within the Western clinical context. Dr. Ramos has been instrumental in shifting the surgical paradigm, as evidenced by his highly cited 2016 work advocating for minimally invasive surgery in gastric cancer (25 citations). He has advanced the field through rigorous comparative studies, including a randomized trial (2022, 20 citations) showing favorable short-term outcomes of robotic versus open gastrectomy, and a recent propensity score-matched analysis (2024, 5 citations) comparing robotic and laparoscopic techniques. As a key member of the Brazilian Laparoscopic Oncologic Gastrectomy Group (BLOGG), he has helped standardize and disseminate these complex procedures in Brazil. His work on technique standardization (2020, 6 citations) and technical aspects of robot-assisted gastrectomy (2019, 5 citations) provides essential guidance for surgeons navigating the learning curve. With a cumulative impact of over 70 citations, Dr. Ramos is shaping the future of gastric cancer surgery, making it less invasive without compromising oncologic outcomes.
