About
Dr. Hisanori Taniguchi is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes in robotic-assisted procedures for prostate and kidney cancers. His most impactful contribution is the introduction and validation of an Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS) protocol for robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP), a study with 46 citations that demonstrated significant improvements in intestinal function and perioperative recovery compared to conventional care. Dr. Taniguchi has also made critical advances in predicting and reducing post-surgical complications, notably identifying that a narrow vesicourethral angle on postoperative cystography can predict urinary incontinence after RALP. In the realm of nephron-sparing surgery, he has pioneered the use of urinary L-type fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP) as an early biomarker for renal function loss after partial nephrectomy and developed novel nephrometry scoring systems to predict functional outcomes. His work extends to challenging cases, including robotic partial nephrectomy in obese patients and rare tumor resections. With a career spanning over a decade of high-impact publications, Dr. Taniguchi continues to refine surgical techniques that improve quality of life for cancer patients.
