About

Dr. Yasuyuki Fukami is a pioneering surgeon whose work centers on advancing robotic inguinal hernia repair, with a particular focus on establishing and refining the robotic transabdominal preperitoneal (R-TAPP) technique. His major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility and safety of introducing R-TAPP outside the United States, as documented in his 2020 single-center trial (16 citations), and providing a comprehensive overview of the field’s current status and future directions in his most-cited 2021 review (19 citations). Dr. Fukami has also developed and disseminated the bipolar forceps dissection method, a key technical innovation aimed at improving surgical precision and training for younger surgeons and residents, as detailed in his 2021 work (5 citations). His research is instrumental in expanding the global adoption of robotic hernia repair, particularly in Japan, where he is helping to shape surgical education and competency development. With a clear focus on practical, step-by-step methodologies, Dr. Fukami’s work is essential reading for surgeons and trainees seeking to master robotic inguinal hernia repair.
