About
Dr. Fumiya Hongo is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for complex renal and urinary tract conditions. His primary research areas include robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) for challenging renal tumors, laparoscopic pyeloplasty, and the use of three-dimensional (3D) printing for surgical simulation. Dr. Hongo’s most significant contribution is his prospective, multi-institutional ROBOHIT trial, which demonstrated that RAPN is a safe and effective option for renal hilar tumors—a notoriously difficult surgical site. This landmark study, published in 2020, has garnered 48 citations and was extended with a long-term follow-up in 2025, confirming durable oncological and functional outcomes. He has also pioneered the application of RAPN for anatomically unique cases, such as horseshoe kidneys and ipsilateral double renal cell carcinomas, and has explored 3D-printed soft kidney models for preoperative training. With over 80 total citations, Dr. Hongo’s work is shaping the future of nephron-sparing surgery, offering patients less invasive options with excellent results. His dedication to rigorous clinical trials and innovative surgical simulation underscores his impact on urologic oncology.
