About
Dr. Shinta Tominaga is a pioneering surgeon and researcher whose work is reshaping the landscape of gastric cancer surgery, with a primary focus on robotic gastrectomy (RG). Her major contributions lie in rigorously comparing the short-term outcomes of robotic versus laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG). In her landmark 2021 study, which has garnered 223 citations, Dr. Tominaga demonstrated that RG may significantly reduce the incidence of severe intra-abdominal infectious complications, such as pancreatic fistula and abscess. This work established a critical evidence base, leading to her subsequent prospective randomized clinical trial in 2023. Most recently, she has been at the forefront of surgical innovation, authoring the first case series on robotic gastrectomy using the novel hinotori™ Surgical Robot System in 2024. By proving the feasibility and safety of this next-generation platform, Dr. Tominaga is not only advancing surgical precision but also setting the stage for the future of minimally invasive oncology. Her cumulative research is instrumental in guiding clinical decision-making and improving patient outcomes in gastric cancer treatment.
