About
Shinji Kuroda is a leading figure in gastric cancer surgery, whose work is defining the future of minimally invasive oncologic procedures. His primary research focuses on advancing surgical techniques for gastric cancer, with a particular emphasis on the safety and efficacy of robotic and laparoscopic gastrectomy. Kuroda’s major contributions lie in developing and validating novel surgical protocols that aim to reduce invasiveness without compromising oncological outcomes. Notably, he is pioneering the “Double-Surgeon Technique” in robotic gastrectomy, an innovative educational system designed to safely train surgeons in complex robotic procedures, addressing a critical bottleneck in the adoption of this technology. His work is also central to high-stakes clinical trials, such as the single-arm phase II JCOG1809 trial, which evaluates the safety of laparoscopic and robotic total gastrectomy with spleen-preserving splenic hilar dissection for locally advanced proximal gastric cancer. This research challenges the standard open splenectomy approach, seeking to reduce severe postoperative complications. With his recent publications already garnering citations, Kuroda is a key architect of the evidence base that will guide the next generation of gastric cancer surgery, balancing radical cure with enhanced patient recovery.
