About

Hiroki Inatsu is a urological surgeon and clinical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of minimally invasive surgery and perioperative care optimization. His research focuses primarily on robot-assisted urological procedures and the implementation of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols, with a particular emphasis on improving outcomes for patients with bladder and prostate cancer. Inatsu has been instrumental in advancing the adoption of ERAS within urological surgery, a field where such protocols have historically lagged behind gastrointestinal specialties. His most-cited work demonstrates that integrating ERAS with robot-assisted radical cystectomy yields meaningful clinical benefits, including reduced complications and shortened hospital stays — findings that carry significant implications for bladder cancer management. His research on off-clamp open partial nephrectomy without renorrhaphy for larger renal tumours further reflects his commitment to refining surgical technique to preserve renal function. With citations accumulating across multiple high-impact studies, Inatsu represents an emerging voice in evidence-based urological surgery, offering students and clinicians practical insights into how surgical innovation and structured perioperative protocols can work in tandem to elevate patient care.
