About
Dr. Ayami Okabe is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on improving functional outcomes following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), particularly in the critical early postoperative period. Her most cited study, published in 2022, investigates the correlation between extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND) and the development of urinary incontinence shortly after surgery. By analyzing patients who underwent RARP without cavernous nerve sparing between 2014 and 2019, Dr. Okabe provides valuable insights into how the extent of lymph node removal may affect early continence recovery—a key concern for both surgeons and patients. This work, with 9 citations, contributes to the ongoing refinement of surgical techniques aimed at balancing oncologic control with quality of life. Dr. Okabe’s research sits at the intersection of surgical oncology and urodynamics, addressing a practical challenge in prostate cancer management. Her findings help guide clinical decision-making regarding the trade-offs of more extensive dissection, making her a notable voice in the field of minimally invasive urologic oncology.
