About
Hiroyuki Tsunemori is a urological surgeon and clinical researcher whose work centers on robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP/RARP), prostate cancer pathology, and the perioperative safety of minimally invasive surgical techniques. His most influential contributions investigate the unintended consequences of steep Trendelenburg positioning — a posture required during robotic prostatectomy — on ocular health. His 2018 and 2019 studies, garnering 12 and 7 citations respectively, broke new ground by demonstrating measurable changes in intraocular pressure and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness following RALP, with particular concern for glaucoma patients, raising important questions about surgical risk stratification for vulnerable populations. Beyond ocular safety, Tsunemori has advanced understanding of oncological precision in prostate cancer management. His research on urethrovesical anastomotic leakage and its relationship to post-surgical urinary continence, alongside investigations into pathological downgrading in high Gleason-score cancers, reflects a commitment to refining patient selection and surgical outcomes. His 2025 work on nerve-sparing prostatectomy guided by PI-RADS imaging and biopsy Gleason patterns further underscores his focus on preserving patient quality of life without compromising oncological control. Tsunemori's body of work meaningfully bridges surgical technique, patient safety, and cancer biology.
