About
Hitoshi Masuda is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly for prostate and bladder cancers. His most impactful contribution is the development of the TMDU-S-3D system, a novel three-dimensional head-mounted display for gasless single-port radical nephrectomy, which has garnered 63 citations and represents a significant leap in surgical visualization. Masuda has also been at the forefront of integrating artificial intelligence into the operating room, as demonstrated by his deep learning-based system for recognizing the seminal vesicle and vas deferens during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. His research consistently addresses critical clinical challenges, including optimizing perioperative outcomes for elderly patients undergoing radical cystectomy (8 citations) and developing rapid geriatric screening tools (the G8 and IADL-modified G8) to predict stoma self-management after urinary diversion. Additionally, his work on postoperative membranous urethral length and continence recovery after prostatectomy (5 citations) provides actionable insights for improving patient quality of life. Through these contributions, Masuda has established himself as a leader in merging cutting-edge technology with patient-centered surgical care.
