About
Yume Minagawa is a pioneering colorectal surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly through the integration of robotic platforms. Her major contributions center on evaluating the comparative effectiveness of robot-assisted surgery (RAS) versus single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) for colorectal cancer, with a specific emphasis on postoperative inflammation and pain outcomes. Her 2025 study on right-sided colon cancer, which has garnered 5 citations, provides critical insights into these surgical approaches. Minagawa is also a trailblazer in the use of the Senhance Digital Laparoscopy System, a next-generation robotic platform featuring eye-tracking camera control and haptic feedback. She reported the first single-incision plus one-port transverse colon resection using this system (2021, 5 citations), demonstrating her commitment to reducing surgical invasiveness. Her 2025 case series on low anterior resection with the Senhance system further solidifies her role as a key figure in robotic colorectal surgery. With a growing citation record and a focus on innovation, Minagawa is shaping the future of surgical oncology.
