About
Yuji Morine is a pioneering figure in the advancement of robotic surgery, with a particular focus on colorectal and rectal procedures. His research centers on evaluating the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of next-generation surgical robotic systems, most notably the hinotori Surgical Robot System—the first surgical robot manufactured in Japan. Morine’s major contribution lies in providing early clinical evidence for this emerging platform, comparing its performance against established systems like the da Vinci. His landmark 2025 study on the feasibility of robotic rectal surgery using hinotori, though recently published, is already shaping discussions in the field by demonstrating comparable patient outcomes and procedural safety. With over 600 urologic procedures performed using hinotori in Japan since its 2020 launch, Morine’s work is instrumental in expanding the system’s application to colorectal surgery. His research not only supports the adoption of domestically produced robotic technology but also helps define benchmarks for future innovation. For students and researchers, Morine’s work represents a critical bridge between surgical robotics development and real-world clinical implementation.
