About
Shin Koike is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on refining surgical outcomes in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and advancing minimally invasive treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia. His major contributions center on the surgical anatomy of the periprostatic region, particularly the superficial preprostatic vein (SPV) and accessory pudendal arteries (APA). By systematically analyzing over 500 patients, Koike has provided critical insights into how preserving these structures can improve immediate urinary continence after RARP—a key quality-of-life concern for prostate cancer patients. His research has also identified preoperative risk factors, such as inguinal hernia, that predict worse continence outcomes, enabling better patient counseling. Beyond oncology, Koike has evaluated the AQUABEAM Robotic System for aquablation therapy in Japanese men with lower urinary tract symptoms due to BPH, demonstrating its safety and efficacy in this population. With over 20 citations across his recent publications (2024–2025), Koike’s work is already shaping surgical practice and patient care in urology. His detailed anatomical studies, including preservation techniques tailored to Asian men, represent a notable achievement in advancing precision and functional outcomes in robotic urologic surgery.
