About
Dr. Jiro Sakamoto is a leading urologic surgeon whose research focuses on improving surgical outcomes in prostate cancer treatment, particularly through the prevention of postoperative complications. His most impactful work centers on reducing inguinal hernia incidence following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), a common and debilitating side effect. In a landmark 2019 prospective randomized trial, Dr. Sakamoto introduced a novel prophylactic procedure involving strategic peritoneal dissection during transperitoneal RARP. This study, which has garnered 10 citations, demonstrated a significant reduction in hernia rates, offering a simple yet effective modification to standard surgical technique. Beyond this key contribution, his research portfolio addresses broader challenges in minimally invasive urologic oncology, emphasizing patient quality of life and surgical innovation. Dr. Sakamoto's work has been recognized for its practical, evidence-based approach, directly influencing clinical guidelines and surgical training. His dedication to rigorous trial design and patient-centered outcomes marks him as a thoughtful contributor to the field, whose findings continue to shape best practices in robotic prostate surgery.
