About
Dr. Ryusuke Deguchi is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving outcomes for prostate and kidney cancer patients, particularly through the lens of robotic surgery. His major contributions lie in identifying novel predictors of postoperative complications and in comparing the long-term quality-of-life impacts of different treatment modalities. Notably, his 2021 study on "Myosteatosis as a novel predictor of urinary incontinence after robot‑assisted radical prostatectomy" (18 citations) was the first to demonstrate that fatty infiltration of muscle, rather than simple muscle loss, significantly predicts post-surgical incontinence. He has also advanced the understanding of renal surgery safety through a prospective study on the natural history of asymptomatic pseudoaneurysms after robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (16 citations). More recently, Dr. Deguchi has focused on patient-centered outcomes, comparing oncological results and health-related quality of life between robotic prostatectomy and combined brachytherapy-radiation for high-risk prostate cancer, as well as examining how postoperative sexual function impacts overall well-being. His work bridges surgical technique with functional recovery, helping clinicians tailor treatments to preserve patients' quality of life.
