About
Dr. Toshinari Yamasaki is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing robot-assisted surgery for kidney and prostate cancers, with a particular emphasis on augmented reality (AR) navigation and perioperative patient safety. His most impactful work, an AR navigation system for robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (15 citations), represents a significant technical contribution to precision oncology, enabling surgeons to visualize critical renal anatomy in real time. Dr. Yamasaki has also made substantial contributions to understanding bleeding risks in robotic prostatectomy, demonstrating through multiple cohort studies (11 and 7 citations) that continued perioperative anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapy can be managed safely—findings that directly inform clinical guidelines. His prospective multi-institutional ROBOHIT trial (2025) evaluating long-term outcomes after robot-assisted partial nephrectomy for renal hilar tumors underscores his commitment to rigorous, evidence-based surgical innovation. With over 60 citations across his top works, Dr. Yamasaki’s research bridges cutting-edge technology and practical surgical decision-making, establishing him as a leading voice in the evolution of minimally invasive urologic oncology.
