About

Tomoyuki Irino is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive surgery for gastric and esophageal cancers, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted techniques. His research centers on comparing the safety, feasibility, and short-term outcomes of robotic versus conventional laparoscopic and video-assisted approaches. Irino’s major contributions include demonstrating the clinical comparability of robotic distal gastrectomy for early gastric cancer (46 citations) and establishing the safety of robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy with extended lymphadenectomy (11 citations). He has also pioneered innovative reconstruction methods, such as the novel Non-Flap Tunnel Technique (NFTT) for proximal gastrectomy, designed to improve postoperative quality of life. His work on preserving the infra-pyloric vein to prevent delayed gastric emptying (15 citations) and the robotic double-flap technique (9 citations) further underscores his commitment to reducing surgical morbidity. With a career spanning pivotal studies from 2017 to 2025, Irino continues to shape the future of oncologic surgery, balancing technical innovation with patient-centered outcomes.
