About

Masumi Sunada is a leading figure in gynecologic surgery, with a research focus on the advancement and dissemination of minimally invasive techniques, particularly laparoscopic and robot-assisted surgery. Her work is pivotal in shaping surgical practice in Japan, addressing both the adoption of new technologies and the educational frameworks needed to train the next generation of surgeons. A major contribution is her pioneering work on an online live streaming system for robotic surgery, which includes a bidirectional discussion feature via a commentator. This system, detailed in a 2025 multi-institutional observational study (3 citations), overcomes legal and safety barriers to provide real-time, interactive surgical education. Sunada has also provided critical, large-scale evidence on national trends, authoring a 10-year nationwide study (2 citations) that maps the shift toward robot-assisted gynecologic procedures. Her comprehensive cancer statistics report (2 citations) further clarifies the current challenges and future directions for treating gynecologic cancers with minimally invasive methods. Through these impactful studies, Sunada is not only documenting a surgical revolution but actively building the infrastructure for its safe and effective implementation.
