About
Ryoji Hyakudomi is a surgeon-scientist dedicated to advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, with a primary focus on robot-assisted gastrectomy and inguinal hernia repair. His work addresses critical challenges in postoperative complications, particularly port site hernias and difficult hernia repairs in patients with prior pelvic surgery. In his 2021 study on robot-assisted port site closure, Hyakudomi introduced a safe, reliable, and efficient technique to prevent port site hernias—a complication occurring in up to 5.2% of laparoscopic and robot-assisted procedures. This contribution is especially valuable given the difficulty of achieving complete fascial closure in 8-mm robot ports. More recently, in 2024, he pioneered the high peritoneal incision approach for transabdominal preperitoneal patch plasty (TAPP) in inguinal hernia patients who have undergone radical prostatectomy. This innovation directly addresses the severe adhesions that make standard TAPP technically challenging in this population. While his citation counts are currently modest, reflecting the recent publication dates of his work, the clinical relevance and practical applicability of his techniques position him as an emerging authority in robotic surgical safety and complex hernia management.
