About

Dr. Mayuko Wakimoto is a leading anesthesiologist whose research focuses on the perioperative management of pediatric patients undergoing advanced surgical techniques, particularly robotic-assisted surgery (RAS). Her most-cited work, "Anesthetic Implications of Robotic-Assisted Surgery in Pediatric Patients" (2021, 13 citations), provides a critical framework for understanding the unique physiological challenges and anesthetic considerations in children undergoing RAS. Dr. Wakimoto’s contributions have helped bridge the gap between surgical innovation and safe anesthetic practice, highlighting key issues such as positioning, pneumoperitoneum, and pain management. Her research underscores the potential benefits of RAS—including reduced postoperative pain and shorter hospital stays—while also addressing its limitations and costs. By synthesizing clinical evidence with practical guidance, Dr. Wakimoto has become a trusted voice in pediatric anesthesia. Her work is essential reading for clinicians and researchers seeking to optimize outcomes for children in the era of minimally invasive surgery.
