About
Yurina Fujisaki is a pioneering surgeon and researcher at the forefront of minimally invasive gastric cancer surgery. Her primary research focus lies in developing and refining hybrid surgical techniques that synergize the benefits of laparoscopic and robotic platforms. Dr. Fujisaki’s major contribution is the conceptualization and clinical validation of the Minimally Invasive Laparoscopic and Robotic (MILAR) system, a novel approach that leverages the da Vinci Single-Port (SP) system. By using the SP’s single robotic arm to create a wider working space for an assistant’s laparoscopic forceps, her MILAR technique overcomes the spatial limitations of traditional single-incision robotic surgery. Her most cited works, including a 2024 paper introducing the MILAR system for distal gastrectomy (5 citations) and a subsequent study on its short-term outcomes (4 citations), provide the foundational evidence for this innovative method. These publications demonstrate the feasibility and safety of the MILAR approach, offering a promising new pathway for complex gastric cancer resections that balances the precision of robotics with the flexibility of conventional laparoscopy.
