About
Dr. Keiichi Fujiya is a leading figure in the surgical management of gastric cancer, with a focused expertise in minimally invasive techniques. His research primarily investigates the comparative benefits of robotic gastrectomy (RG) versus laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG), particularly for early-stage (clinical stage I/II) disease. Dr. Fujiya’s major contributions include demonstrating that robotic approaches can offer significant advantages, such as improved surgical outcomes for patients with high visceral fat area and reduced postoperative complications, including pancreatitis linked to pancreas compression time. His work has been highly influential, with his 2021 propensity score-matched analysis accumulating 39 citations, and his 2022 study on total gastrectomy garnering 21 citations. Beyond comparative studies, he has explored specific technical refinements, such as preserving the infra-pyloric vein to prevent delayed gastric emptying in pylorus-preserving gastrectomy, and has led a prospective phase II trial confirming the favorable long-term outcomes of robotic gastrectomy for stage I cancer. Dr. Fujiya’s research is pivotal in defining the optimal surgical strategies that enhance patient recovery and long-term nutritional status, solidifying his reputation as a key innovator in gastric cancer surgery.
