About

Homare Okazoe is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on refining robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and adapting urological care to real-world challenges. His primary research areas include nerve-sparing techniques in prostate cancer surgery, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on surgical outcomes, and evidence-based personalization of robotic procedures. Okazoe’s major contributions center on developing safer, more precise surgical protocols—such as his 2025 study demonstrating that nerve-sparing RARP can be safely performed when preoperative imaging and biopsy show no high-risk features in the peripheral zone, thereby preserving function without compromising oncological control. His 2024 retrospective analysis of over 200 patients further revealed how the pandemic altered urologists’ treatment behaviors and surgical outcomes, providing critical insights for crisis preparedness. With over 3 citations to date, his work is gaining traction among peers seeking to balance functional preservation with cancer clearance. Okazoe’s research is notable for its direct clinical applicability, offering urologists data-driven guidance to tailor surgical approaches and maintain high standards of care even during global disruptions.
