About

Yuri Fishman is a pioneering robotic surgeon whose work is redefining the landscape of minimally invasive gastrointestinal surgery. His primary research focuses on the development and clinical application of advanced robotic platforms, particularly for complex esophageal procedures. Fishman’s most significant contribution to date is his leadership in the first worldwide report of a robotic Heller’s myotomy using the novel Hugo™ RAS system in 2023. This landmark achievement, which has already garnered 8 citations in a short time, demonstrates his role at the forefront of surgical innovation, showcasing the feasibility and potential of next-generation robotic systems to improve patient outcomes and expand access to precise, less invasive treatments. By documenting this pioneering procedure, Fishman has provided a critical blueprint for other surgeons and institutions adopting the Hugo™ RAS platform. His work not only highlights his technical expertise but also his commitment to rigorous clinical research that directly translates into improved surgical care. As a rising authority in robotic surgery, Fishman’s early impact signals a career dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the operating room.
