About
Masataka Fukuda is a clinical anesthesiologist whose research focuses on optimizing postoperative pain management in robot-assisted surgeries. His work addresses a critical gap in perioperative care for minimally invasive procedures, particularly in thoracic and urologic surgery. Fukuda's most impactful study, with 15 citations, compares thoracic epidural analgesia to intercostal nerve block combined with intravenous patient-controlled analgesia for patients undergoing robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS), providing evidence-based guidance for postoperative protocols. He further refined this area through an 8-citation retrospective study evaluating general anesthesia alone, epidural analgesia, and ultrasound-guided thoracic paraspinal block for mediastinal disease. Beyond pain management, Fukuda contributed a notable case report on well leg compartment syndrome following robot-assisted radical cystectomy, highlighting a rare but serious complication of prolonged lithotomy positioning. His cumulative work, though early in its citation trajectory, demonstrates a commitment to improving patient safety and recovery outcomes in the rapidly evolving field of robotic surgery.
