About
Mikihito Nakamori is a surgical oncologist whose research has significantly advanced the field of minimally invasive surgery for gastric cancer, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted techniques. His work centers on comparing robotic gastrectomy (RG) with conventional laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG), exploring how robotic platforms can overcome the inherent limitations of laparoscopic surgery, including restricted range of motion, hand tremor amplification, and difficult surgical positioning around delicate peripancreatic structures. Nakamori's most impactful contribution, a 2021 study on short-term outcomes of robotic versus laparoscopic gastrectomy, has garnered over 220 citations, establishing evidence that RG may meaningfully reduce intra-abdominal infectious complications such as pancreatic fistula and abscess. His accompanying randomized controlled trial protocol, cited 27 times, laid the methodological groundwork for rigorous prospective comparison of these two approaches. Notably, he has pioneered specialized techniques including robotic lymphadenectomy that avoids direct pancreatic contact, fundoplication during proximal gastrectomy, and innovative solutions for rare anatomical presentations such as situs inversus totalis. Collectively, his contributions represent a sustained effort to refine surgical precision, improve patient outcomes, and establish evidence-based standards for robotic gastrectomy in gastric cancer treatment.
