About
Dr. Yui Honjo is a pioneering colorectal surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for complex pelvic floor disorders. Her most notable contribution is the first reported case of robotic posterior rectopexy for full-thickness rectal prolapse, described in her 2022 landmark paper. This innovative procedure, performed on a 94-year-old patient, demonstrated the feasibility and safety of robotic approaches in elderly populations, opening new avenues for surgical management where traditional methods carry higher risk. While her citation count of 2 reflects the niche, emerging nature of this technique, the work has been recognized for its originality and clinical significance in the field of robotic colorectal surgery. Dr. Honjo’s research bridges the gap between advanced technology and geriatric surgical care, establishing her as a key figure in the evolution of robotic rectopexy. Her meticulous case documentation and focus on patient-centered outcomes continue to influence surgical decision-making for rectal prolapse, particularly in vulnerable populations.
