About
Hidefumi Kinoshita is a leading Japanese urologist whose research centers on robotic and minimally invasive surgery for prostate and kidney cancers, with a strong emphasis on optimizing patient outcomes through enhanced recovery protocols and predictive analytics. His most impactful work introduced an Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS) protocol for robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP), demonstrating superior perioperative outcomes (46 citations). Kinoshita has also pioneered research into postoperative predictors of urinary incontinence, notably identifying the narrow vesicourethral angle as a key prognostic factor on cystography (14 citations). In kidney cancer, he has advanced robotic partial nephrectomy techniques, evaluating trifecta outcomes in obese patients and developing nephrometry-based models to predict renal function decline. His contributions extend to cost-effectiveness analyses, comparing active surveillance with treatments for early prostate cancer using PRIAS-JAPAN data (8 citations), and to multi-institutional studies on laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (16 citations). With over 100 publications and leadership in prospective trials like the ROBOHIT trial for renal hilar tumors, Kinoshita’s work has shaped surgical practice in Japan, earning him recognition as a key figure in urologic oncology and robotic surgery.
