About
Nobuhiro Sugano is a colorectal surgeon whose research focuses on improving surgical outcomes for colon and rectal cancer through minimally invasive techniques and risk stratification. His work centers on laparoscopic and robotic surgery, with particular emphasis on reducing complications like anastomotic leakage and local recurrence. In a key 2021 study comparing minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery (MILS) to open surgery for low rectal cancer, Sugano demonstrated that MILS offers potential benefits in reducing local recurrence, contributing to the growing evidence for minimally invasive approaches in challenging pelvic surgeries. His 2024 multicenter prospective study on laparoscopic intracorporeal overlap anastomosis for right-sided colon cancer, with 3 citations, advances the understanding of optimal reconstruction techniques. Additionally, Sugano identified the C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio as a novel risk factor for anastomotic leakage after anterior resection, even when using indocyanine green fluorescence imaging—a practical tool for preoperative risk assessment. With publications spanning 2021-2024 and cumulative citations approaching 10, Sugano’s work is shaping safer, more effective colorectal cancer surgery, directly impacting clinical guidelines and patient care.
