About

Naoya Tomomasa is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly through the adoption and evaluation of novel robotic platforms. His most notable contribution is his early clinical work with the Saroa surgical system, a next-generation robotic platform distinguished by its integrated haptic feedback and compatibility with standard laparoscopic instruments. In his landmark 2025 study, "Initial Experience of Robot‐Assisted Nephrectomy and Nephroureterectomy Using the Novel Saroa Surgical System," Tomomasa provides the first clinical evidence for this system's feasibility and safety in complex upper urinary tract procedures. Though recently published, this work has already garnered 2 citations, signaling its immediate impact on the field. By demonstrating that the Saroa system can achieve outcomes comparable to established robotic platforms while offering unique ergonomic and sensory advantages, Tomomasa is helping to shape the future of robot-assisted urology. His research is particularly valuable for surgeons seeking to expand access to robotic surgery through more adaptable and cost-effective systems, positioning him as a key voice in the ongoing evolution of surgical robotics.
