About
Yoshiko Kurose is a pioneering surgeon and researcher at the forefront of minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, with a specialized focus on robotic-assisted techniques for benign hysterectomy and deep endometriosis. Her major contributions center on advancing single-port robotic surgery, demonstrating that newer platforms like the da Vinci SP can achieve outcomes comparable to or better than conventional multi-port and laparoscopic approaches. In her landmark 2025 study, she used propensity score matching to compare benign hysterectomy methods, showing that single-port robotics reduces postoperative pain and improves cosmetic results while maintaining safety—a finding that has already garnered 6 citations. Her 2024 work on robot-assisted nerve-sparing eradication of deep endometriosis further showcases her commitment to preserving pelvic function while achieving complete disease excision. With additional research validating single-port robotic vNOTES hysterectomy against conventional laparoscopy, Kurose is shaping the future of scarless, patient-centered surgery. Her work, cited in leading journals, is essential reading for surgeons seeking to adopt next-generation robotic platforms.
