Frontier Surgery Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A surgery lab pioneering robotic surgery for colorectal and gastric cancer.

AboutAbout the lab
Opening up uncharted frontiers of surgery.
The Frontier Surgery Lab aims to advance the surgical treatment of colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, and inguinal hernia through high-quality clinical research and translational research.
The lab takes its name from its mission to open up new, untouched areas in surgical practice and research.
Its members also hold positions in the surgery department of the affiliated hospital, where they perform surgery for diseases of the colon, rectum, anus, and stomach, especially colorectal cancer and gastric cancer.
The lab focuses on minimally invasive surgery, such as laparoscopic surgery and robot-assisted surgery.
Key terms
- Robot-assisted surgery
- Surgery in which a doctor operates robotic arms. It allows fine, precise movements and is less burdensome on the body.
- Laparoscopic surgery
- Surgery performed by making small incisions in the abdomen and inserting a camera and thin instruments.
- Inguinal hernia
- A condition in which the intestines or other tissue protrude out of the abdomen through a gap in the muscles at the groin.
ResearchResearch themes
As gastrointestinal surgeons, the lab's mission is not only to hone surgical skills but also to build solid scientific evidence. It aims to publish its results in peer-reviewed journals and to contribute to the development of international clinical practice guidelines.
