About

Dezhao Guo is a pioneering researcher in the field of surgical robotics, with a primary focus on gynecologic interventions. His work centers on the design, control, and evaluation of robotic systems that enhance precision and reduce human fatigue in minimally invasive procedures. Guo's major contributions include the development of a novel robot-enabled uterus manipulator for laparoscopic hysterectomy, which introduces a soft remote center of motion (RCM) constraint to improve safety and dexterity. His most-cited paper (2022, 14 citations) demonstrates how this system can replace the laborious task of manual uterine manipulation, addressing performance declines due to surgeon fatigue. Building on this, his 2023 work (11 citations) presents a motorized 3-degree-of-freedom manipulation rod integrated with an RCM mechanism, enabling tireless, consistent motion during surgery. These innovations have the potential to transform standard practice in gynecologic surgery, offering a scalable solution to improve outcomes and reduce strain on surgical teams. Guo's research is notable for its translational impact, bridging engineering design with clinical needs, and his work is increasingly recognized as foundational for next-generation robotic surgical assistants.
