About
Dr. Hisanaga Horie is a leading colorectal surgeon whose research focuses on preserving quality of life after minimally invasive rectal cancer surgery, particularly male sexual function. He spearheaded the landmark LANDMARC study, a prospective multicenter survey that systematically investigated the incidence of erectile and ejaculatory dysfunction following laparoscopic, robotic, and transanal approaches. This work, published in 2024 and already garnering 8 citations, provides critical, evidence-based insights into the trade-offs between oncologic radicality and functional outcomes. By rigorously documenting the prevalence of sexual dysfunction that profoundly affects patients' postoperative well-being, Dr. Horie has established a new benchmark for patient-centered surgical research. His contributions are instrumental in guiding surgeons toward techniques that minimize iatrogenic nerve damage and in informing preoperative counseling. Through the LANDMARC study, Dr. Horie has not only illuminated an understudied aspect of rectal cancer survivorship but also laid the groundwork for future comparative effectiveness trials, making him a pivotal voice in the ongoing effort to optimize both survival and quality of life for rectal cancer patients.
