About
Ken Nakagawa is a leading figure in urological surgery, whose work has significantly advanced the field of minimally invasive procedures. His primary research focuses on laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS), a technique designed to reduce surgical trauma and improve patient recovery. Nakagawa’s major contribution is his pioneering multi-institutional study, which documented a large series of 469 non-robotic urological LESS cases across nine Japanese academic centers. This landmark work, cited 16 times, provided critical evidence on the feasibility, safety, and outcomes of LESS, helping to standardize the approach and expand its adoption. By demonstrating that complex urological surgeries could be performed through a single incision, Nakagawa has directly influenced surgical practice, offering patients less invasive options. His research has been instrumental in shaping the modern landscape of urology, and his collaborative efforts continue to inspire further innovation in single-site surgical techniques.
