About
Hiroki Koyasu is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving outcomes for prostate cancer patients undergoing robotic-assisted surgery. His primary research areas include the refinement of robotic surgical techniques, the prevention of post-operative complications, and the systematic measurement of patient quality of life. Koyasu’s major contributions are twofold: he identified and characterized the risk of port site hernia at the robotic arm port, a specific complication of minimally invasive surgery, and he pioneered the clinical application of the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC) to longitudinally track health-related quality of life in Japanese men after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. His most cited works, each with 11 citations, have provided critical data for surgeons seeking to reduce surgical morbidity and for patients making informed treatment decisions. By integrating detailed complication reporting with validated patient-reported outcome measures, Koyasu has advanced the standard of care in robotic urologic oncology.
