About
Mikael H. Sodergren is a leading figure in surgical robotics and minimally invasive surgery, with a career defined by pushing the boundaries of what technology can achieve in the operating room. His research centers on the development of novel robotic platforms, including flexible and hyper-redundant instruments for accessing difficult-to-reach anatomy, as well as the integration of force-sensing and autonomous capabilities into surgical systems. His most cited work, “An articulated universal joint based flexible access robot for minimally invasive surgery” (154 citations), introduced a groundbreaking seven-degree-of-freedom robotic device with embedded micro motors, a key innovation for single-incision and natural orifice surgery. Sodergren has also made significant contributions to the field’s conceptual framework, authoring influential reviews on the role of technology in minimally invasive surgery (110 citations) and the evolution from supervised to fully autonomous robotic paradigms (75 citations). His work on navigation systems for NOTES and robotic-assisted oncological resections has further cemented his impact, with over 600 total citations to his name. A visionary engineer-clinician, Sodergren’s research continues to shape the future of precision, automated, and patient-centered surgical care.
