Yasukazu Nakanishi

About

Dr. Yasukazu Nakanishi is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing robot-assisted surgical techniques for complex urologic cancers, particularly in elderly and high-risk patient populations. His work has fundamentally shaped perioperative management in urologic oncology, with his most cited study on the validity and safety of robot-assisted laparoscopic radical cystectomy in patients aged ≥80 years (8 citations) establishing critical benchmarks for geriatric surgical care. Dr. Nakanishi has made landmark contributions to preoperative risk stratification, developing rapid geriatric screening tools like the G8 and IADL-modified G8 that predict stoma management ability after urinary diversion (5 citations), and demonstrating how nutritional status—via the Controlling Nutritional Status score—predicts postoperative paralytic ileus (3 citations). His technical innovations include optimizing continence recovery through analysis of postoperative membranous urethral length and vesicourethral anastomosis position (5 citations), and pioneering simultaneous robot-assisted nephroureterectomy and cystectomy (4 citations). Dr. Nakanishi has also advanced salvage robot-assisted radical prostatectomy for radiation-recurrent prostate cancer (5 citations) and documented rare complications like barbed suture-induced strangulated ileus (4 citations). His work consistently bridges surgical innovation with patient-centered outcomes, making him a leading voice in geriatric urologic oncology and robotic surgery.
