About
Dr. Yasuaki Enokida is a surgical oncologist whose research focuses on improving safety and outcomes in gastrointestinal surgery, with a particular emphasis on gastric cancer treatment and the integration of advanced technologies into the operating room. His most impactful contribution, the KSCC DELICATE study (2024, 11 citations), is a large-scale multicenter retrospective analysis that established the critical importance of duodenal stump reinforcement in preventing life-threatening stump leakage after gastrectomy—a finding that has direct implications for surgical protocols. Dr. Enokida is also at the forefront of minimally invasive innovation, demonstrating the feasibility of robotic surgery for simultaneous resection of multiple primary cancers, such as concurrent gastric and rectal tumors (2022, 3 citations), addressing a growing clinical need. In a novel intersection of surgery and digital health, his observational study (2023, 2 citations) validated the use of an upper arm–worn Apple Watch for reliable heart rate monitoring in surgeons during procedures, offering a practical tool for assessing physician stress and well-being in the high-pressure environment of the operating room.
