About
Dr. Masaki Shiota is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher whose work spans the frontiers of robotic surgery and prostate cancer treatment. His most impactful contributions lie in two key areas: advancing telesurgery technology and optimizing surgical outcomes for prostate cancer patients. In groundbreaking work on remote surgical systems, Dr. Shiota developed a double-surgeon cockpit for telesurgery and demonstrated the first field experiments of a surgical robot with haptic feedback—achievements that have garnered 21 and 17 citations, respectively, and signal a future where expert surgical care can transcend geographic boundaries. Simultaneously, his clinical research has profoundly shaped prostate cancer management. He led a nationwide multi-institutional study revealing shifting treatment trends in Japan (14 citations) and has produced a series of highly cited papers on robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), including analyses of nerve-sparing techniques, positive surgical margins, and the impact of extended lymph node dissection on urinary incontinence. His work validating predictive models for lymph node involvement and extracapsular extension has enhanced precision in surgical planning. With over 100 citations across his most-cited papers, Dr. Shiota’s research is not only advancing surgical robotics but also refining evidence-based care for prostate cancer patients worldwide.
