About
Y. Tamaki is a leading researcher in robotic-assisted orthopedic surgery, with a primary focus on total hip and knee arthroplasty. Their work has significantly advanced the precision of implant placement, particularly in complex cases such as developmental dysplasia of the hip. Tamaki’s most-cited study (2023, 16 citations) demonstrates that robotic arm-assisted total hip arthroplasty via a minimally invasive anterolateral approach in the supine position markedly improves cup placement accuracy. In a comparative study (2023, 13 citations), they showed that robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty achieves superior coronal plane alignment over navigation-assisted techniques. Tamaki also contributed to ophthalmic robotics, evaluating a parallel robotic system for retinal vessel microcannulation in an animal model (2010, 15 citations), which outperformed manual procedures. Their recent systematic review (2025) of surgical assist robots available in Japan (MAKO, ROSA, NAVIO/CORI, VELY) provides a critical resource for clinical adoption. With over 47 citations across key works, Tamaki’s research bridges engineering and clinical practice, establishing benchmarks for robotic precision in joint replacement and microsurgery.
