About
Dr. Kohei Kiyohara is a pioneering ophthalmologist and robotic surgery researcher whose work centers on the integration of assistive robotics into vitreoretinal surgery. His major contribution lies in the first-in-human clinical application of the OQrimo® intraocular endoscope-holding robot, a system designed to stabilize surgical instruments and enhance precision during delicate pars plana vitrectomy procedures. As the lead investigator at the world’s first clinical institution to implement OQrimo® following its approval in Japan in April 2023, Dr. Kiyohara has demonstrated the feasibility and safety of robotic assistance in retinal surgery, paving the way for broader adoption of surgical automation in ophthalmology. His landmark 2025 paper on this topic has already garnered 3 citations, reflecting early recognition of its translational significance. By bridging the gap between engineering and clinical practice, Dr. Kiyohara is shaping the future of minimally invasive eye surgery, offering surgeons enhanced control and patients improved outcomes. His work stands at the forefront of robotic vitreoretinal interventions, marking a critical step toward autonomous surgical assistance in ophthalmology.
