About
Dr. Jotaro Mikami is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on functional outcomes and quality of life following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. His key research area lies at the intersection of surgical oncology and patient-reported outcomes, with a particular focus on how preoperative factors—especially a patient’s interest in sex—influence postoperative satisfaction. In his most cited work (2022, 7 citations), Dr. Mikami demonstrated that men who express a strong interest in sex before surgery report significantly different patterns of sexual and urinary bother afterward, challenging the conventional approach of evaluating surgical success solely through objective functional metrics. This contribution underscores the importance of personalized counseling and expectation management in prostate cancer care. Dr. Mikami’s research is notable for its patient-centered methodology, using longitudinal data to capture the evolving nature of recovery. While his citation count is modest, his work represents a growing shift toward incorporating psychosocial variables into surgical outcomes research. For students and clinicians, Dr. Mikami’s findings serve as a reminder that what matters most to patients may not always be what is easiest to measure.
