About
Hiroshi Matsuzaki is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). His major contributions center on two critical aspects of this procedure: preventing postoperative complications and preserving nerve function. In his 2022 study on surgical positioning, Matsuzaki demonstrated that the opened legs position significantly reduces the risk of postoperative rhabdomyolysis, a serious complication that can impair kidney function. Using propensity score-matched analysis, he provided evidence-based guidance for safer patient positioning during RARP. More recently, in 2024, Matsuzaki pioneered a novel nerve-sparing technique using indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence guidance. His work showed that this approach improves lower urinary tract symptoms post-surgery, offering patients better functional outcomes without compromising cancer control. With his papers garnering citations from the urology community, Matsuzaki’s research is shaping best practices in robotic prostate surgery. His dual focus on safety and quality of life positions him as a leading voice in minimally invasive urologic oncology, with his ICG-assisted technique representing a notable advancement in nerve preservation.
