About
Dr. Yosuke Atsumi is a leading colorectal surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for colon and rectal cancer, with a particular emphasis on robotic-assisted surgery and the prevention of postoperative complications. His most impactful work addresses the critical challenge of anastomotic leakage, a severe complication following rectal cancer surgery. In a 2025 study with 10 citations, he identified key risk factors for this complication in the context of current surgical practices, providing essential guidance for improving patient outcomes. Dr. Atsumi is also a pioneer in robotic surgery for colorectal cancer. He served as the principal investigator for the prospective, phase II ROBOCOLO trial (2023, 7 citations), which demonstrated the safety of robotic surgery for right-sided colon cancer in Japan. His research extends to technically demanding cases, showing the benefits of robotic-assisted laparoscopy for complex rectal cancers (2020, 6 citations) and for obese patients (2025, 4 citations). With a growing body of work that includes multicenter studies on anastomotic techniques and the use of biomarkers like the C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio, Dr. Atsumi is shaping the future of safer, more effective colorectal cancer surgery.
