About
Airi Miki is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work focuses on the application of robotic-assisted surgery in complex and high-risk patient populations, particularly during pregnancy. Her most notable contribution is the first reported case of robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy performed on a pregnant patient with renal cell carcinoma, a landmark procedure that demonstrated the feasibility of minimally invasive oncologic surgery without compromising maternal or fetal safety. This work, published in 2023, has already garnered early citations, signaling its importance to the field. Miki’s research addresses the critical intersection of oncology, obstetrics, and advanced surgical technology, offering a new paradigm for managing malignancies during pregnancy. Her case report provides a detailed framework for perioperative management, including patient positioning, insufflation pressures, and fetal monitoring, setting a precedent for future studies. By pushing the boundaries of what is surgically possible, Miki is helping to expand treatment options for a vulnerable patient group, and her work is poised to influence clinical guidelines in urologic oncology and maternal-fetal medicine.
