About
Dr. Sayaka Masuda is a pioneering gynecologic surgeon whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted and laparoscopic approaches for gynecologic cancers and complex benign conditions. Her major contributions include demonstrating the technical feasibility and short-term safety of robot-assisted surgery for early-stage endometrial cancer, as shown in her most-cited work (20 citations), which compared outcomes with conventional laparoscopy. Dr. Masuda has also innovated in benign hysterectomy, comparing multi-port and single-port robotic systems through propensity score matching, and developed the "Double-Bipolar Method" for robot-assisted hysterectomy, a notable technical achievement. Her work extends to nerve-sparing modified radical hysterectomy for deep endometriosis, where she showed comparable surgical outcomes between robotic and laparoscopic approaches. With recent studies on single-port robotic vNOTES hysterectomy, Dr. Masuda continues to push the boundaries of scarless surgery. Her cumulative citations reflect growing recognition of her role in refining robotic gynecologic surgery, making her a key figure in the evolution of patient-centered, minimally invasive care.
