About
Dr. Taku Naiki is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher whose work is redefining the standards of care in robotic-assisted urologic oncology. His primary research focuses on optimizing surgical techniques for prostate and kidney cancers, with a particular emphasis on improving functional outcomes and reducing postoperative complications. Dr. Naiki is best known for his landmark study on Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RS-RARP), which elucidated the pelvic anatomical features critical for early urinary continence recovery—a contribution that has garnered 21 citations and shaped surgical practice. His broader impact is evident across a portfolio of highly cited works, including analyses of learning curves for robotic prostatectomy (6 citations) and comparative studies of LigaSure versus standard techniques (5 citations). Beyond the operating room, Dr. Naiki has ventured into chemoprevention, providing preliminary evidence on the safety and clinical efficacy of luteolin for prostate cancer patients under active surveillance (4 citations). He has also advanced the field of nephron-sparing surgery by developing a three-dimensional CT-based resection process map for robot-assisted partial nephrectomy. With additional contributions to complex ureteral reconstruction and rare case reports, Dr. Naiki’s work consistently bridges technical innovation with patient-centered outcomes, making him a leading voice in minimally invasive urologic surgery.
