About

Hiroyuki Momozono is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on improving functional outcomes after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), particularly urinary continence. His key research areas include periurethral inflammation, urethral fibrosis, and preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as predictors of post-surgical continence status. Momozono’s major contributions involve identifying anatomical and pathological factors—such as periurethral inflammation and urethral wall fibrosis—that significantly influence continence recovery, thereby helping surgeons tailor preoperative counseling and surgical techniques. His most cited paper (11 citations) examines the impact of periurethral inflammation on early continence after RARP, while another influential study (9 citations) demonstrates the predictive value of MRI-evaluated urethral fibrosis. These works have advanced the understanding of soft-tissue factors in post-prostatectomy incontinence, a common and distressing complication. Momozono’s research bridges radiology and surgical outcomes, offering practical insights for improving patients’ quality of life. His findings are especially relevant for urologists and researchers seeking to refine risk stratification and enhance continence preservation in robotic prostate surgery.
