About
Dr. Naohiko Fukami is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research centers on advancing robot-assisted surgery for kidney, bladder, and prostate cancers. His most influential work demonstrates the superiority of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy over laparoscopic approaches for small renal tumors, establishing new benchmarks in nephron-sparing surgery. With over 46 citations, this foundational study has shaped modern surgical practice. Dr. Fukami has also made critical contributions to understanding postoperative complications, notably identifying risk factors for ileus after robot-assisted radical cystectomy—a study cited 25 times. His research on achieving "trifecta" outcomes in high-complexity renal tumors (PADUA score ≥10) has expanded the boundaries of what is surgically possible. Beyond oncology, Dr. Fukami has pioneered the use of deep learning models to predict urinary continence recovery after prostatectomy, integrating artificial intelligence into preoperative planning. His innovative work with ultra-high-resolution CT for intraoperative navigation during partial nephrectomy represents a leap forward in surgical precision. With over 140 cumulative citations across his key publications, Dr. Fukami continues to shape the future of minimally invasive urologic oncology, improving both functional outcomes and quality of life for patients worldwide.
