About
Dr. Yushi Nagaki is a pioneering thoracic surgeon whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for esophageal cancer, with a particular focus on robot-assisted thoracoscopic esophagectomy (RATE). His most cited work, "Extensive Lymph Node Dissection Around the Left Laryngeal Nerve Achieved With Robot-assisted Thoracoscopic Esophagectomy" (2019, 33 citations), demonstrates how robotic precision enables more thorough lymph node clearance in challenging anatomical regions—a critical factor for improving patient outcomes. Dr. Nagaki's comparative study (2021, 13 citations) further established RATE's oncological superiority over conventional thoracoscopic surgery, showing significantly lower local recurrence rates. His case reports on robot-assisted enucleation for large esophageal leiomyomas (2021, 10 citations) and salvage esophagectomy after definitive chemoradiotherapy for cT4b tumors (2021, 3 citations) highlight his willingness to tackle the most complex clinical scenarios. Through meticulous documentation of surgical techniques and outcomes, Dr. Nagaki has provided compelling evidence that robotic assistance can expand the boundaries of what is surgically achievable in esophageal oncology, offering patients safer, more effective treatment options.
