About
Tomoharu Yoshizumi is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive and robotic surgery, with a particular focus on complex hepatobiliary and esophageal procedures. His research has been instrumental in standardizing minimally invasive anatomic liver resection (MIALR), a technically demanding field where his work, including a global expert survey, has helped define best practices and has garnered significant attention. Yoshizumi is at the forefront of telesurgery, pioneering systems that enable dual-surgeon cockpits and haptic feedback for remote operations, with key papers on telesurgical support and real-time telementoring using 3D annotation—work that has earned over 50 citations collectively. He has also contributed to refining robotic esophagectomy techniques, notably for left recurrent nerve lymph node dissection, and has explored the feasibility of non-routine abdominal drainage in liver surgery through a multicenter randomized trial. With a career marked by innovation in surgical robotics and telemedicine, Yoshizumi’s contributions are shaping the future of remote and minimally invasive surgical care.
