About
Teruyuki Nishihara is a leading researcher in robotic surgery, with a focus on haptic feedback and tissue-safe manipulation. His work centers on enhancing surgical precision and safety by integrating force feedback into robotic systems, particularly the Saroa surgical system. Nishihara’s major contributions include demonstrating that contact-force feedback significantly improves suturing performance and reduces tissue damage, as shown in his 2023 study (11 citations) and 2024 preclinical evaluation (10 citations). His 2025 in vivo study (7 citations) further validated that varying grasping forces can be controlled to minimize tissue trauma, addressing a critical gap in robot-assisted surgery—the lack of tactile sensation. Collectively, his research has garnered over 28 citations, underscoring its impact on surgical robotics and patient safety. Nishihara’s work is notable for bridging engineering and clinical practice, offering actionable insights for designing safer robotic systems. His studies are essential reading for researchers and students interested in the intersection of haptics, robotics, and minimally invasive surgery.
