About
Norihito Kosugi is a leading researcher in surgical artificial intelligence, with a primary focus on the automated analysis and skill evaluation of robot-assisted surgery. His most influential work, a large-scale joint study across 18 medical education centers, introduced a deep-learning model capable of automatically recognizing surgical phases during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. This breakthrough not only demonstrates the power of AI in parsing complex surgical workflows but also directly links phase recognition to objective surgical skill assessment. With over 6 citations on this landmark paper alone, Kosugi’s contributions are shaping the future of surgical training and quality assurance. By enabling real-time, data-driven feedback for surgeons, his research bridges the gap between computational methods and clinical practice, offering a scalable solution for improving patient outcomes. Kosugi’s work stands as a cornerstone in the emerging field of surgical data science, highlighting how artificial intelligence can transform the way surgical expertise is taught, measured, and refined.
