About

Yuichiro Miki is a leading figure in the advancement of robotic surgery for gastrointestinal cancers, with a particular focus on gastric and esophageal malignancies. His seminal 2015 work, "Robotic surgery for gastric cancer," which has garnered 65 citations, established foundational principles for minimally invasive approaches in this field. Miki’s contributions are further underscored by his late phase II study on robot-assisted gastrectomy for clinical stage I gastric cancer, cited 41 times, which provided critical evidence supporting the safety and feasibility of robotic nodal dissection. His recent work extends to esophageal cancer, where he has pioneered robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) in the left lateral decubitus position, a technique that promises to expand surgical options. Miki also addresses practical challenges in robotic surgery, such as port site hernias and rare postoperative complications like acquired hemophilia, demonstrating a comprehensive approach to patient safety. With a career marked by rigorous clinical investigation and technical innovation, Miki’s research continues to shape the evolution of robotic-assisted oncologic surgery, offering valuable insights for surgeons and researchers alike.
