About
Yuichi Nakaseko is a pioneering surgeon whose work centers on advanced, minimally invasive gastrointestinal surgery, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted gastrectomy and the innovative use of near-infrared fluorescence imaging. His major contributions lie in developing and refining techniques that enhance surgical precision and patient safety, especially in complex cases. Notably, his research on real-time vessel navigation using indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence during robotic gastrectomy for patients with prior coronary artery bypass grafting (7 citations) addresses a critical risk of graft injury. He has also engineered a da Vinci-compatible near-infrared fluorescence clip for precise tumor localization (5 citations) and established a safer, simpler esophagojejunostomy technique using a linear stapler and barbed suture (4 citations). Beyond gastrectomy, Nakaseko has pioneered the use of ICG fluorescent lymphography during open inguinal hernia repair (4 citations), a novel application. His work directly translates to improved outcomes in high-stakes oncologic and reconstructive surgeries, making him a leading figure in the evolution of robotic and fluorescence-guided surgery.
