About
Dr. Yasuyoshi Okamura is a pioneering robotic surgeon and researcher at Kobe University Hospital, whose work is reshaping urologic oncology and surgical technology. His primary research areas include robotic-assisted surgery for prostate and kidney cancers, artificial intelligence in surgical phase recognition, and the clinical validation of next-generation robotic platforms. Dr. Okamura’s most significant contributions lie in demonstrating the safety and efficacy of the hinotori™ surgical robot system, notably through his landmark 2024 study on robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (12 citations) and his initial experience with robot-assisted pyeloplasty (7 citations). He has also advanced precision oncology by developing machine learning models to predict lymph node metastasis in prostate cancer (3 citations) and by comparing surgical outcomes for complex versus non-complex renal tumors (10 citations). His innovative work extends to creating an AI model for real-time surgical phase recognition (3 citations) and assessing first-touch robotic training skills (2 citations). With a growing citation impact and a focus on both clinical outcomes and technological innovation, Dr. Okamura is establishing himself as a leader in the integration of robotics and artificial intelligence in urologic surgery.
