About

Ryo Miura is a pioneering colorectal surgeon whose research sits at the forefront of robotic and minimally invasive surgical oncology, with a particular focus on colorectal cancer treatment. Based in Japan, Miura has established himself as a trailblazer in introducing and evaluating novel robotic surgical platforms, most notably the hinotori™ Surgical Robot System and the da Vinci SP system, for both colonic and rectal cancer procedures. His most impactful contributions include the world-first documented cases of robotic-assisted right hemicolectomy and low anterior resection using the hinotori™ system following its 2022 Japanese regulatory approval, papers that collectively attracted nearly 60 citations within just two years — a remarkable uptake reflecting their clinical significance. Miura has further expanded the boundaries of surgical innovation by reporting Japan's first single-port da Vinci SP right hemicolectomy and pioneering hybrid robotic transanal total mesorectal excision techniques. His work on standardized transperineal minimally invasive abdominoperineal excision adds depth to his minimally invasive expertise. Through rigorous first-in-nation case reporting, Miura is shaping the adoption of next-generation robotic platforms in Japanese colorectal surgery and influencing surgical practice internationally.
