About
Shigeki Yamaguchi is a prominent Japanese surgical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of minimally invasive surgery, robotic systems, and colorectal oncology. He is best known as an early adopter and clinical champion of the Senhance Robotic System in Japan, having reported several landmark "first" procedures using the platform — including the country's inaugural ileocecal resection and pioneering single-incision plus two-port robotic approaches for colon and sigmoid cancer. His technical innovations in reduced-port robotic surgery have helped shape how Japanese surgeons approach colorectal malignancies with precision and minimal patient trauma. Beyond individual technique, Yamaguchi has contributed substantially to large-scale multicenter research. His involvement in the PRODUCT trial advanced the validation of laparoscopic surgery for locally advanced rectal cancer using circumferential resection margin as an internationally recognized quality benchmark. He has also contributed to national surveillance efforts, including Japan's 16th National Survey of Endoscopic Surgery and analyses of COVID-19's impact on surgical practice. His LANDMARC Study highlights his commitment to patient quality of life, rigorously examining male sexual dysfunction following minimally invasive rectal surgery. With cumulative citations exceeding 130 across his most recognized works, Yamaguchi stands as an influential voice in advancing safe, evidence-based minimally invasive surgery across Japan.
