About
Masaki Mori is a pioneering surgical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of robotic surgery, telesurgery, and medical communications technology. Based in Japan, Mori has emerged as one of the leading figures in defining the technical and clinical parameters that make remote robotic surgery safe and feasible. His most-cited work focuses on establishing critical thresholds for telesurgery, including acceptable communication delays, bandwidth limitations, and image compression standards — research that has collectively attracted over 180 citations and forms the empirical backbone of the field. Notably, Mori contributed to the landmark *Clinical Practice Guidelines for Telesurgery 2022*, providing the medical community with its first structured framework for this emerging discipline. His field experiments demonstrating telesurgery over commercial networks in Japan, alongside cadaveric trials using the domestically developed *hinotori™* surgical robot, highlight his commitment to real-world implementation rather than purely theoretical research. Mori has also contributed historically informed perspectives on the evolution of gastric cancer surgery and has analyzed national surgical trends through Japan's Clinical Database. His body of work is instrumental in shaping the regulatory, technical, and clinical future of telesurgery worldwide.
