About
Masaaki Miyo is a pioneering surgical oncologist whose research sits at the forefront of robotic colorectal cancer surgery, with particular expertise in adopting and evaluating emerging surgical technologies for gastrointestinal malignancies. He has achieved remarkable distinction as the first researcher to document robotic colorectal procedures using the hinotori™ Surgical Robot System, a Japanese-developed platform approved for colorectal surgery in 2022, authoring world-first case reports for both right hemicolectomy and low anterior resection using this system — papers that have collectively garnered nearly 60 citations within just two years, reflecting their significance to the global surgical community. Miyo has further expanded robotic surgical frontiers by reporting Japan's first right hemicolectomy using the da Vinci SP single-port system, as well as innovative hybrid approaches combining robotic abdominal surgery with transanal total mesorectal excision. Beyond robotics, his recent work exploring conversion surgery following zolbetuximab-based chemotherapy for CLDN18.2-positive gastroesophageal junction cancer demonstrates a broadening interest in multidisciplinary oncological management. His cumulative contributions position him as a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive surgical techniques for colorectal and gastroesophageal cancers in Japan.
