About
Dr. Teppei Kamada is a pioneering surgeon whose work centers on advanced fluorescence-guided surgery and minimally invasive robotic techniques, particularly in gastric cancer treatment. His major contributions include developing real-time intraoperative navigation using indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence to protect critical vascular structures, such as the right gastroepiploic artery graft in patients with prior coronary artery bypass grafting—a breakthrough that prevents catastrophic cardiac ischemia during gastrectomy. He also engineered a da Vinci-compatible near-infrared fluorescence clip, enabling precise robot-assisted wedge resection of gastric submucosal tumors. Additionally, Dr. Kamada has refined complex esophagojejunostomy by combining linear staplers with barbed sutures, simplifying a technically demanding procedure. His innovative applications extend to ICG fluorescent lymphography for inguinal hernia repair and fluoroscopic balloon dilation for post-gastrectomy obstructions. With over 20 citations across his most influential papers, Dr. Kamada’s work has significantly enhanced surgical safety and outcomes, establishing him as a leader in integrating fluorescence imaging with robotic surgery for gastrointestinal oncology.
