About
Dr. Sachiko Nagao is a leading epidemiologist and gynecologic surgeon whose research focuses on the regional disparities and nationwide trends in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery.

With 17 citations in a short period, this landmark ecological and retrospective cohort study has rapidly become a key reference for health policy and surgical quality improvement. Dr. Nagao’s major contribution lies in identifying the specific regional factors that drive disparities in access to advanced surgical techniques, providing critical evidence for equitable healthcare delivery. Her work bridges the gap between clinical practice and public health, offering actionable insights for reducing surgical variation across Japan. As a researcher, she is recognized for her rigorous use of big data to illuminate patterns in women’s health, making her a vital voice in the movement toward standardized, evidence-based gynecologic care.
