About
Dr. Hiroshi Hotta is a leading clinical researcher in geriatric urology, with a focused expertise in perioperative care for elderly patients. His work centers on identifying and mitigating postoperative complications, particularly postoperative delirium (POD), a critical issue in aging populations. His most influential study, a multi-institutional prospective investigation involving over 1,000 patients aged 65 and older undergoing elective urological surgery, established foundational benchmarks for POD incidence and risk factors. This work, cited 35 times, has directly informed preoperative risk stratification and the development of tailored anesthetic and surgical protocols to protect cognitive function. Dr. Hotta’s contributions extend beyond epidemiology; his research bridges the gap between urological practice and geriatric medicine, advocating for multidisciplinary approaches to enhance recovery. By systematically analyzing variables from transurethral to laparoscopic procedures, he has provided actionable insights that reduce morbidity and improve quality of life for older surgical patients. His rigorous methodology and patient-centered focus make him a pivotal figure in advancing safe, evidence-based urological care for the elderly.
