About

Dr. Kentaroh Miyoshi is a leading thoracic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) for complex lung cancer cases. His major contributions center on overcoming technical challenges in thoracoscopic lobectomy, most notably for patients with severe incomplete interlobar fissures—a condition historically associated with higher morbidity. In his highly cited 2021 work (8 citations), Dr. Miyoshi pioneered a fissureless approach using RATS, demonstrating how robotic precision can safely navigate difficult anatomical variations that would otherwise require open surgery. This work has helped establish RATS as a viable option for high-risk patients, reducing complications and expanding access to minimally invasive lung cancer treatment. By systematically addressing the technical hurdles of incomplete fissures, Dr. Miyoshi has provided surgeons with reproducible strategies that improve patient outcomes. His research bridges the gap between traditional thoracoscopic limitations and the enhanced dexterity of robotic platforms, making him a key figure in the evolution of robotic thoracic surgery. For students and researchers, his work exemplifies how targeted technical innovation can directly translate into safer, more effective surgical care.
