About
Shoji Yomo is a leading neurosurgeon specializing in stereotactic radiosurgery, with a particular focus on the treatment of brain tumors using advanced Gamma Knife technology. His research centers on the development and clinical application of "robotic microradiosurgery," a technique that enhances precision and safety in treating complex intracranial lesions. Yomo’s major contributions include pioneering the clinical use of the world’s first fully robotized Leksell Gamma Knife Perfexion, a landmark achievement documented in his most-cited paper (92 citations). He has also established innovative treatment concepts for challenging pathologies, such as pituitary adenomas invading the cavernous sinus (57 citations) and residual or recurrent craniopharyngiomas (41 citations). His work on vestibular schwannoma has helped refine image-guided, robot-assisted strategies to improve tumor control and preserve audiofacial nerve function. With over 200 cumulative citations across his key publications, Yomo’s research has significantly advanced the field of radiosurgery, offering safer, more effective options for patients with previously inoperable or high-risk brain tumors.
