About
Dr. Kazuya Inamochi is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research focuses on the intersection of robotic surgery and perioperative ophthalmologic safety. His landmark study, "Transient but Significant Visual Field Defects after Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy in Deep Trendelenburg Position" (2015, 60 citations), established a critical link between the steep head-down positioning required for robotic prostatectomies and transient visual impairments. This work demonstrated that prolonged intraocular pressure elevation during RALP can cause measurable visual field defects, fundamentally changing how surgical teams approach patient positioning and monitoring. Dr. Inamochi’s contributions have been instrumental in developing safer protocols for high-risk patients, prompting the integration of intraoperative IOP monitoring and time limits for extreme Trendelenburg positioning. His research bridges urology and ophthalmology, highlighting the systemic effects of minimally invasive techniques. By identifying a previously underrecognized complication, Dr. Inamochi has improved surgical safety standards and inspired further investigations into the ocular consequences of robotic surgery, making his work essential reading for surgeons and anesthesiologists alike.
