About

Dr. Kentaro Miura is a pioneering thoracic surgeon and researcher whose work is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive lung cancer surgery. His primary research areas converge on the intersection of advanced imaging, robotic technology, and surgical education. Dr. Miura’s major contributions include championing the clinical application of three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) for precision planning, as highlighted in his highly cited 2023 review on 3D-CT simulation for lung cancer treatment (12 citations). He has also developed novel surgical techniques, such as the "lung base-flip approach" for robotic segmentectomy, which overcomes critical anatomical challenges. Beyond the operating room, Dr. Miura is a leader in surgical education, creating tailored simulation training programs to address the steep learning curve in robotic surgery. His work is instrumental in the paradigm shift toward segmentectomy over lobectomy for early-stage lung cancer, a change validated by major clinical trials. With a growing citation footprint and a focus on practical, high-impact innovations, Dr. Miura is defining the future of precision, robotic-assisted thoracic surgery.
