About

Naoki Hiki is a leading surgical oncologist whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques for gastrointestinal cancers, particularly gastric and rectal malignancies. His major contributions center on improving surgical safety and outcomes through rigorous comparative studies. Notably, his work on robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) for rectal cancer after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy provides critical evidence on its feasibility and short-term benefits, addressing a controversial area in colorectal surgery. Additionally, his large-scale multicenter retrospective study (KSCC DELICATE study) on duodenal stump reinforcement after gastrectomy offers vital insights into preventing stump leakage, a serious postoperative complication. With his most-cited papers accumulating over 25 citations, Hiki’s research directly impacts clinical practice by guiding surgeons in technique selection and complication prevention. His achievements include leading collaborative trials that set standards for surgical quality, making him a key figure in the evolution of laparoscopic and robotic gastrointestinal surgery.
