Abstract
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for gynecologic cancers, which includes laparoscopic and robotic approaches, has seen significant growth in Japan over the past decade. While offering numerous benefits, including reduced postoperative pain and shorter hospital stays, its rapid adoption has also highlighted several challenges, particularly in the management of severe surgical adverse events and disparities in training and access to technology. This article explores the current trends in MIS adoption in Japan, focusing on laparoscopy and robotic surgery, their benefits and limitations, the regulatory and certification frameworks established by the Japan Society of Gynecologic and Obstetric Endoscopy and Minimally Invasive Therapy, and future directions for ensuring safety and efficacy in gynecologic oncology surgery.
期刊介绍：
The International Journal of Clinical Oncology (IJCO) welcomes original research papers on all aspects of clinical oncology that report the results of novel and timely investigations. Reports on clinical trials are encouraged. Experimental studies will also be accepted if they have obvious relevance to clinical oncology. Membership in the Japan Society of Clinical Oncology is not a prerequisite for submission to the journal. Papers are received on the understanding that: their contents have not been published in whole or in part elsewhere; that they are subject to peer review by at least two referees and the Editors, and to editorial revision of the language and contents; and that the Editors are responsible for their acceptance, rejection, and order of publication.
