About
Dr. Jun Muto is a pioneering neurosurgeon at the forefront of integrating robotics and artificial intelligence into neurosurgery. His research focuses on robot-assisted bone processing, transoral robotic surgery for skull base and upper spine lesions, and the development of autonomous systems for neurovascular procedures. Dr. Muto’s major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility of leader-follower type robotic-assisted cerebral artery anastomosis using the da Vinci Xi system—a world-first cadaveric study—and advancing the practical application of industrial robots for safe, efficient nerve decompression. His work has garnered significant attention, with his most-cited paper on robot-assisted bone processing in neurosurgical procedures accumulating 9 citations since 2024, while his transoral robotic surgery study has been cited 4 times. Notably, Dr. Muto has also proposed a visionary “moonshot plan” for sustainable, AI-driven robotic surgery in Japan, highlighting his commitment to transforming neurosurgical practice through innovation. His ongoing research aims to overcome technical limitations and expand the reachable range of robotic systems, positioning him as a key figure in the future of minimally invasive, technology-enhanced neurosurgery.
