About
Eiji Kashiwagi is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on optimizing surgical outcomes in prostate and kidney cancers, with a particular focus on robot-assisted techniques. His major contributions include identifying clinical factors that influence perioperative results in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), such as age, prostate volume, and overweight status—findings that help personalize surgical planning. Kashiwagi has also clarified the delicate balance between nerve-sparing procedures and the risk of positive surgical margins and biochemical recurrence, providing critical guidance for preserving quality of life without compromising oncologic control. His research extends to renal surgery, where he demonstrated the clinical advantages of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy over laparoscopic approaches in preserving both global and split renal function. With over 60 citations across his most influential papers, Kashiwagi has also developed and validated predictive models for lymph node involvement and extracapsular extension in prostate cancer, as well as a novel nomogram for biochemical recurrence-free survival. His work is essential reading for surgeons and trainees seeking evidence-based strategies to refine robotic urologic oncology.
