About
Koki Tominaga is a urologic surgeon whose research centers on refining surgical techniques in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, with a particular focus on optimizing trocar placement and access methods to enhance patient safety and procedural efficiency. His most-cited work investigates the use of optical trocar access through the upper abdominal quadrant with the Kii Fios First Entry trocar, addressing a critical challenge posed by specification changes in the da Vinci X/Xi system. By demonstrating that this approach reduces trocar slippage compared to the open method, Tominaga has contributed practical, evidence-based improvements to minimally invasive urologic surgery. Though his citation count remains modest—reflecting a career still in its early stages—his work is notable for its direct clinical applicability and attention to the nuanced technical demands of robotic platforms. Tominaga’s research underscores a commitment to advancing surgical precision, and his findings offer valuable guidance for surgeons navigating evolving robotic instrumentation. As his career progresses, his focus on optimizing foundational surgical steps promises to have a lasting impact on operative outcomes and patient recovery.
