About
Sanae Nakajima is a pioneering surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive hernia repair techniques, with a particular focus on the enhanced-view totally extraperitoneal (eTEP) approach. Her major contribution lies in demonstrating the safety and efficacy of eTEP for complex cases, such as incisional hernias following robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy—a challenging patient population where traditional methods risk serious complications like mesh erosion and adhesive bowel obstruction. By adapting eTEP to these scenarios, Nakajima has expanded surgical options that reduce postoperative pain and chronic complications. Her landmark case report, published in 2022, has already garnered 2 citations, signaling growing recognition among peers. Beyond this, her work underscores a commitment to refining extraperitoneal techniques, potentially lowering recurrence rates and improving recovery. Nakajima’s research bridges urological and general surgery, offering innovative solutions for patients with prior abdominal surgeries. As a rising voice in her field, she continues to influence best practices in laparoscopic repair, making her a valuable resource for surgeons and trainees seeking to master advanced, patient-centered approaches.
