About

Kishiko Nakai is a clinical researcher whose work focuses on advancing anesthetic and surgical techniques for robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery. Her primary research areas include regional anesthesia, neuromuscular blockade, and their combined effects on surgical outcomes. Nakai’s most significant contribution is her pioneering investigation into the efficacy of abdominal peripheral nerve block combined with caudal block, demonstrating improved pain management and surgical conditions in a 2018 retrospective study (10 citations). She further expanded this work in a 2024 prospective randomized controlled trial, which revealed that the synergistic use of abdominal peripheral nerve block and neuromuscular blockade significantly enhances the surgical workspace during robotic procedures (4 citations). These studies have practical implications for optimizing patient recovery and surgical precision in minimally invasive surgery. Nakai’s research is notable for its translational impact, bridging anesthesiology and surgical innovation to improve clinical protocols. Her work is increasingly recognized as foundational for developing safer, more effective anesthetic strategies in robotic surgery, a rapidly growing field.
