About
Dr. Chiyoe Shirota is a pioneering pediatric surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques for congenital biliary dilatation (CBD) and other complex pediatric conditions. Her major contributions center on evaluating the safety, feasibility, and learning curves of robot-assisted surgery compared to traditional laparoscopic and open approaches. Notably, her 2023 study comparing robotic versus laparoscopic radical surgery for pediatric CBD, with 8 citations, established foundational evidence for robotic benefits in this delicate population. Dr. Shirota has further demonstrated that robot-assisted procedures are safe even in children weighing ≤10 kg, and she has rigorously analyzed suturing performance during hepaticojejunostomy, identifying critical steps where robotics offers efficiency gains. Her work extends to pioneering applications, including the first pediatric pelvic surgery using the Senhance® robotic system. With a growing body of work—including comparative studies of open, laparoscopic, and robotic outcomes for choledochal cyst excision—Dr. Shirota is shaping the future of pediatric robotic surgery, providing crucial data that helps surgeons optimize techniques for the youngest and most vulnerable patients.
