About

Shiori Yanai is a gynecologic surgeon and clinical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of minimally invasive surgery and women's reproductive health, with particular expertise in robotic-assisted gynecological procedures and the surgical management of complex conditions such as deep endometriosis and gynecologic cancers. Her research has systematically evaluated the comparative merits of robot-assisted versus conventional laparoscopic approaches across a range of procedures — including radical hysterectomy for cervical and endometrial cancer — demonstrating the technical feasibility and clinical advantages of robotic platforms in early-stage disease. Yanai has been a leading voice in refining nerve-sparing surgical techniques for deep endometriosis, pioneering the innovative double-bipolar method and adapting these approaches to the da Vinci SP single-port system, reflecting her commitment to reducing surgical morbidity while preserving neurological function. Her more recent investigations into uterine weight as a determinant of surgical complexity and her propensity score–matched comparisons of single-port versus multi-port robotic platforms underscore her evolving focus on surgical optimization and patient-tailored care. With a cumulative citation count exceeding 100 across her most influential publications, Yanai's contributions offer valuable evidence-based guidance for surgeons navigating the rapidly advancing landscape of robotic gynecologic surgery.
