About

Jun Teishima is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of robotic surgery, oncology, and minimally invasive techniques. Based at Kobe University Hospital in Japan, Teishima has made significant contributions to advancing robotic-assisted urological procedures, with a particular focus on prostate cancer, renal tumors, and adrenal surgery. His most cited work examines the hinotori™ surgical robot system — a domestically developed Japanese robotic platform — demonstrating how iterative modifications to the system can meaningfully improve perioperative outcomes in radical prostatectomy, garnering 12 citations since its 2024 publication. This research is especially notable given the growing global interest in alternatives to established robotic platforms. Teishima has also led and contributed to prospective multi-institutional studies, including the ROBOHIT trial, evaluating long-term oncological and functional outcomes of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy for challenging renal hilar tumors across 22 Japanese academic centers. Beyond surgical technique, Teishima has embraced data-driven medicine, applying machine learning models to predict lymph node metastasis in prostate cancer patients — work with direct clinical relevance in reducing unnecessary surgical intervention. His comparative analyses of robotic versus laparoscopic adrenalectomy further underscore his commitment to evidence-based refinement of minimally invasive urology.
