About
Hiroshi Yaegashi is a leading urologic surgeon whose research focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes for prostate and renal cancers, particularly through robot-assisted techniques. His major contributions center on improving patient quality of life after radical prostatectomy, with pioneering work on the effects of Trendelenburg positioning during surgery and the mechanisms of urinary continence. Yaegashi’s landmark 2013 study on cardiovascular and respiratory effects of head-down angle during robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (38 citations) established critical safety parameters for surgical positioning. His innovative research on Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, demonstrated through dynamic MRI (10 citations), has advanced understanding of postoperative continence mechanisms. With over 140 cumulative citations, Yaegashi has conducted prospective randomized trials on inguinal hernia prevention (10 citations) and comparative studies of partial nephrectomy versus cryoablation in elderly renal cancer patients (12 citations). His work systematically addresses the full spectrum of surgical challenges—from intraoperative complications like carbon dioxide embolism to long-term functional outcomes and treatment satisfaction—making him a key contributor to evidence-based refinement of robotic urologic surgery.
