About

Dr. Shin Ebara is a leading Japanese urologic surgeon whose research centers on the application of robotic surgery for prostate and bladder cancers, with a particular focus on optimizing oncological outcomes and refining surgical techniques. A key contributor to the MSUG94 group, Dr. Ebara has led landmark multicenter retrospective cohort studies that have shaped the understanding of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in Japan. His work has critically evaluated the role of pelvic lymph node dissection, demonstrating that it may not improve biochemical recurrence-free survival (15 citations), and has identified prognostic factors such as lymphovascular invasion and positive surgical margin locations. Notably, Dr. Ebara performed the first robotic renal autotransplantation outside of North America (16 citations), a pioneering achievement in minimally invasive reconstructive urology. He has also advanced the field by comparing intracorporeal, extracorporeal, and hybrid urinary diversion techniques during robot-assisted cystectomy (13 citations) and by developing a nomogram to predict lymph node involvement in prostate cancer (5 citations). With over 100 cumulative citations across his most influential papers, Dr. Ebara’s work is instrumental in guiding surgical decision-making and improving patient outcomes in robotic urologic oncology.
