About
Na-Ri Yang is a pioneering researcher in the field of surgical robotics and minimally invasive medicine, with a primary focus on advancing natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES). Her most notable contribution is the development of a novel semi-automatic snake robot designed for NOTES, a groundbreaking platform that enables scarless surgery through natural orifices. This work, published in 2014, demonstrated the robot’s feasibility through rigorous preclinical tests in animal and human cadaver models, earning 18 citations and laying critical groundwork for next-generation endoscopic tools. Yang’s research addresses key challenges in surgical access and dexterity, offering a safer, more precise alternative to traditional methods. Her achievements highlight a commitment to translating engineering innovations into clinical practice, with potential to reduce patient trauma and recovery times. By integrating robotics with real-world surgical needs, Yang has established herself as a key figure in the evolution of flexible endoscopy, inspiring further exploration into autonomous and semi-autonomous systems for complex procedures.
