About
Dr. Hiroaki Myoga is a urological researcher whose work centers on surgical education and the application of three-dimensional (3D) printing technology in clinical training. His most cited study, "3D printed kidney model could be an important educational tool for residents" (2022, 10 citations), represents a significant contribution to urological pedagogy. In this pioneering work, Dr. Myoga investigated whether 3D-printed kidney models could enhance the ability of junior physicians to accurately evaluate the R.E.N.A.L. nephrometry score—a critical system for assessing renal tumor complexity and guiding surgical planning. By comparing an expert's assessments with those of four urology residents, his research provided compelling evidence that tactile, anatomically accurate models bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical skill. This work has been recognized for its potential to reduce the learning curve in complex oncologic surgery. Dr. Myoga's research underscores a broader commitment to improving patient outcomes through innovative, hands-on educational tools, positioning him as a forward-thinking contributor to the intersection of medical education and surgical simulation.
