About
Dr. Kodai Yuge is a pioneering ophthalmologist and robotic surgery researcher whose work centers on the integration of advanced robotic systems into vitreoretinal surgery. His primary research areas include surgical robotics, intraocular endoscopy, and minimally invasive ophthalmic techniques. Dr. Yuge’s most significant contribution is his leadership in the first clinical use of the OQrimo® intraocular endoscope holding robot during pars plana vitrectomy. As the world’s first clinical institution to implement this system following its approval in Japan in April 2023, his groundbreaking work demonstrated the feasibility and safety of robotic assistance in delicate retinal procedures. His initial clinical report, published in 2025, has already garnered 3 citations, signaling early impact in the field. By introducing a robotic assistant that stabilizes the intraocular endoscope or illumination device, Dr. Yuge is helping to reduce surgeon tremor, improve precision, and potentially expand access to complex vitreoretinal surgeries. His work positions him at the forefront of surgical innovation, bridging the gap between robotics and ophthalmology to enhance patient outcomes and redefine the standard of care in retinal surgery.
