About
Dr. Junko Komatsu is a pioneering gynecologic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing intraoperative visualization techniques to reduce complications in minimally invasive hysterectomy. Her most notable contribution is the development of the "ICG-Washout method," a novel approach using indocyanine green to delineate the entire bladder during laparoscopic and robot-assisted hysterectomy. This technique addresses a critical gap in surgical safety by providing real-time, high-contrast bladder visualization, thereby reducing the risk of inadvertent bladder injury. Dr. Komatsu’s work, validated through preliminary porcine experiments and published in 2024, has already garnered attention in the surgical community. Her research demonstrates a commitment to translating innovative imaging strategies into practical, life-saving tools for complex pelvic surgeries. With a career dedicated to improving surgical outcomes through precision and safety, Dr. Komatsu continues to influence the field of gynecologic oncology and minimally invasive surgery.
