About
Dr. Kensuke Yanagi is a pioneering spine surgeon whose research focuses on enhancing the safety and precision of surgical correction for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). His most significant contribution lies in optimizing intraoperative imaging and navigation technology to improve deformity correction while minimizing patient risk. In his landmark 2023 study, Dr. Yanagi demonstrated that a low-radiation protocol using intraoperative robotic C-arm cone beam CT (CBCT) navigation can dramatically reduce radiation exposure without sacrificing surgical accuracy. This work, which has already garnered 12 citations, proved that this advanced navigation system not only limits harmful radiation but also significantly augments the accuracy of pedicle screw placement—a critical factor in AIS surgery. By bridging the gap between technological innovation and patient safety, Dr. Yanagi’s research offers a compelling solution to the longstanding challenge of balancing surgical precision with radiation stewardship. His findings are reshaping intraoperative protocols, providing a safer, more effective pathway for correcting complex spinal deformities in young patients.
