Kasumigaseki CampusProfessor Sugimoto and Assistant Professor Sueyoshi received the Society Award at the 33rd European Society of Endoscopic Surgery Congress

At the 33rd Congress of the European Association for Endoscopic Surgery (EAES 2025) held in Belgrade (Republic of Serbia) from June 17th (Tuesday) to 20th (Friday), 2025, the presentation by Professor Masaki Sugimoto and Assistant Professor Takumi Sueyoshi of the Innovation Lab at the Okinaga General Surgery Okinaga Research Institute of Teikyo University, won the OR Ready Award.

The European Society for Endoscopic Surgery was founded in 1990 with the aim of promoting the scientific advancement and dissemination of Surgery and minimally Surgery surgery, and aims to promote the development of minimally invasive surgical techniques such as endoscopic surgery, laparoscopic surgery, and robot-assisted surgery, and to provide education and training in these techniques. The society regularly holds international conferences, building a network of experts and researchers in the field of endoscopic Surgery, including sharing the latest research results and techniques, and contributing to the standardization and quality improvement of Surgery surgery.
OR Ready is an international initiative in which medical professionals and organizations from around the world work together to improve the safety and outcomes of surgical patients. It calls on hospitals around the world to create safe surgical environments, contributing to improving patient safety.

The award-winning presentation was about a new method to realize monitor-free robotic endoscopic surgery using a video pass-through AR headset, eliminating the need for large monitors in the operating room while saving energy and reducing the environmental impact of medical equipment. The presentation was highly evaluated for its safety and outcomes in the operating room, leading to the OR Ready Award. Assistant Professor Sueyoshi won the same award at EAES 2024 last year, making this the second consecutive year that the award has been received.
Upon receiving the award, Professor Sugimoto said, "I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone involved in this research. I will continue to promote research and educational activities at our institute and at our university." We look forward to seeing Professor Sugimoto and Assistant Professor Sueyoshi's continued success in the future.
