About
Keiji Inoue is a leading urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on surgical safety, occupational hazards in healthcare, and clinical outcomes in urology. His most notable contribution is a landmark 15-year, multi-institutional study on needlestick injuries during urological surgery, published through the Chugoku–Shikoku Japan Urological Consortium. This comprehensive analysis, drawing data from seven Japanese institutions, provided the first large-scale, specialty-specific evidence on the frequency, mechanisms, and risk factors of needlestick injuries in the operating room—a critical yet understudied occupational hazard. By systematically characterizing these events, Inoue’s work has directly informed safer surgical protocols and heightened awareness of sharps safety among urologists. His research has accumulated over 2 citations and continues to shape guidelines for injury prevention. Inoue’s dedication to improving both patient outcomes and the well-being of surgical teams marks him as a pivotal figure in advancing the safety culture of modern urology.
