About
Masashi Nishino is a pioneering robotic surgeon whose work focuses on expanding the boundaries of minimally invasive oncology, particularly for renal, prostate, and gastric cancers. His research is defined by a commitment to tackling high-complexity cases and developing novel surgical techniques. A key contribution is his investigation into the predictors of success for robot-assisted partial nephrectomy in patients with high-complexity renal tumors (Preoperative Aspects and Dimensions Used for an Anatomical score ≥10), a study that has garnered 17 citations for its critical insights into surgical planning. In prostate cancer, Nishino has made significant strides by evaluating the oncological outcomes of nerve-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy for high-risk patients, a work cited 16 times that helps guide treatment decisions for aggressive disease. Most notably, he is the architect of the innovative Minimally Invasive Laparoscopic and Robotic (MILAR) hybrid system, which synergizes the da Vinci Single-Port robot with conventional laparoscopy. His pioneering work on MILAR for distal gastrectomy in gastric cancer, published in 2024, represents a major technical achievement, demonstrating a novel approach that could redefine standards in complex abdominal surgery.
