[Conference Presentation Announcement]

Selected for the Annual Meeting Video Award at the Japanese Urological Association!

On April 17, 2025, Dr. Nakazono will be presenting at the Annual Meeting of the Japanese Urological Association.

His work has been selected for the prestigious Annual Meeting Video Award in the video presentation category!

The theme: Urinary Continence and Erectile Function Preservation in Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy

This presentation showcases a highly skilled surgical video that directly addresses the challenging issue of preserving urinary continence and erectile function during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. It is accompanied by a detailed and meticulously compiled set of clinical data.

“How many years has he been practicing?!” — International surgeons stunned by his skills

When international doctors viewed Dr. Nakazono’s surgery, they were astonished, asking,

“How many years has he been in practice?!”

His precise and delicate technique, particularly in nerve-sparing procedures, has earned widespread recognition. The video reflects not only his technical mastery but also his deep consideration for each patient’s long-term quality of life.

Aiming for “zero thermal injury” to the neurovascular bundles

The featured video focuses on nerve-sparing techniques that aim to preserve erectile function by avoiding thermal damage.

Dr. Nakazono carefully minimizes the use of electrocautery or sealing devices near the nerves, and this is clearly explained in the presentation.

This approach has the potential to significantly improve postoperative outcomes in terms of both erectile function and urinary continence.

Evolving techniques: From open surgery to laparoscopic and robot-assisted approaches

At Kameda Medical Center, we have pursued this theme for many years.

Our approach has evolved from open surgery to laparoscopic and now to robot-assisted techniques.

Yet, the philosophy of “nerve preservation above all” has remained consistent throughout.

To all urologists — Don’t miss this presentation!

Radical prostatectomy is not only about cancer cure but also about preserving postoperative quality of life.

This presentation will offer one ideal approach to that goal — with compelling surgical footage and robust data.

If you’re attending the conference, we strongly encourage you to watch Dr. Nakazono’s presentation.

Don’t miss it — April 17, 2025 (Thursday)!
