About

Susumu Eguchi is a prominent Japanese surgical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of minimally invasive surgery, hepatobiliary-pancreatic procedures, and national surgical outcomes analysis. His research has significantly advanced understanding of laparoscopic and robotic techniques in Japan and globally, with particular focus on liver resection, pancreaticoduodenectomy, and living donor hepatectomy. Eguchi has made substantial contributions to documenting the evolution of endoscopic surgery in Japan through rigorous analysis of the National Clinical Database and collaboration with the Japan Society for Endoscopic Surgery, producing landmark national surveys that track surgical trends across thousands of procedures. His investigations into robotic surgery — including multicenter assessments of robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy involving 425 patients and comprehensive reviews of robotic hepatectomy — have helped establish safety benchmarks and shape clinical policy as Japan's public health insurance system expands coverage for these techniques. Eguchi has also examined the systemic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on elective surgical care using nationwide data, providing critical insights for healthcare resilience planning. With cumulative citations approaching 100 across his most recognized works, his research serves as essential reading for surgeons and healthcare administrators navigating the rapidly evolving landscape of minimally invasive abdominal surgery.
