About
Dr. Yuhki Nakamura is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on refining robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) to improve patient outcomes. His primary research areas include surgical technique innovation, oncological safety, and complication management in prostate cancer surgery. Dr. Nakamura has made significant contributions by critically comparing Retzius-sparing and conventional anterior RARP approaches, demonstrating that while Retzius-sparing techniques may preserve continence, they carry a higher risk of positive surgical margins in anterior tumors—a crucial finding for surgical planning. His work on perioperative management is equally impactful; he has shown that RARP can be performed safely in patients on antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapy without excessive bleeding risk, directly influencing clinical guidelines. Most recently, Dr. Nakamura developed a novel anterior approach that reduces postoperative inguinal hernia rates by avoiding disruption of the internal inguinal rings. With over 25 citations across his most influential studies, his research is shaping the future of minimally invasive prostate surgery, balancing functional preservation with rigorous oncological control.
