About
Shintaro Maki is a gynecologic oncology researcher whose work focuses on improving surgical outcomes for women with endometrial cancer, particularly those with obesity. His research centers on three key areas: comparing minimally invasive surgical approaches, refining patient risk stratification, and enhancing intraoperative safety. Maki’s most impactful contribution is his 2021 study comparing laparoscopic versus robotic hysterectomy in obese patients with early-stage endometrial cancer (16 citations), which provides crucial data for surgical decision-making in this high-risk population. He further advanced the field by demonstrating that visceral adipose tissue percentage is a better predictor of surgical outcomes than BMI (2024, 10 citations), offering a more nuanced tool for preoperative assessment. Maki also addresses rare but serious complications, as shown in his 2023 work on using portable interface pressure sensors to prevent compartment syndrome during robotic surgery. His research bridges the gap between technological innovation and practical clinical application, helping surgeons optimize both technique and patient safety.
