About

Dr. Takahiro Negi is a pioneering thoracic surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly through the subxiphoid approach. His major contributions lie in the development and refinement of uniportal and robot-assisted thymectomy and pulmonary metastasectomy, procedures that avoid traditional intercostal incisions to reduce postoperative pain and recovery time. Dr. Negi has been at the forefront of integrating next-generation robotic platforms into clinical practice, as evidenced by his report on the first major lung resection using the hinotori™ surgical robot system (6 citations). His innovative work on subxiphoid uniportal robotic thymectomy using the da Vinci Xi system (4 citations) demonstrates a commitment to pushing the boundaries of scarless chest surgery. With foundational studies evaluating the feasibility and safety of both subxiphoid uniportal and robotic thymectomy techniques across 268 patients (3 citations), Dr. Negi has established a robust evidence base for these approaches. His earlier work on subxiphoid single-port bilateral metastasectomy (2 citations) further showcases his long-standing dedication to reducing surgical trauma. Through these contributions, Dr. Negi is shaping the future of thoracic surgery toward less invasive, more patient-friendly interventions.
