About
Dr. Takeshi Shiraishi is a pioneering researcher at the forefront of robotic-assisted thoracic surgery, with a focused expertise in haptic feedback technology and its clinical applications. His most significant contribution is the evaluation and clinical deployment of the Saroa surgical system, a pneumatically driven robot designed to restore tactile sensation—a critical missing element in conventional robotic platforms. Dr. Shiraishi’s landmark 2023 study, which has garnered 31 citations, demonstrated that the Saroa’s haptic feedback function significantly improves surgical manipulation by reducing the risk of iatrogenic organ damage. He further validated this in a 2025 in vivo study (7 citations) quantifying tissue damage from varying grasping forces, and achieved a historic milestone with the first clinical application of a haptic-feedback robot for thoracic surgery in 2024 (5 citations). Beyond robotics, Dr. Shiraishi has investigated factors influencing post-thoracotomy pain following robotic-assisted surgery, contributing to improved patient outcomes. His work bridges engineering and medicine, directly addressing a critical safety gap in minimally invasive surgery. With a growing citation impact and a series of first-in-human studies, Dr. Shiraishi is establishing himself as a key figure in the evolution of intelligent, touch-sensitive surgical robots.
