About
Dr. Kazuhiro Matsumoto is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving outcomes for prostate cancer patients undergoing radical prostatectomy. His primary research areas include surgical risk stratification, urinary function recovery, and the application of artificial intelligence in robot-assisted surgery. Dr. Matsumoto’s major contributions include identifying that a low subcutaneous fat mass is a significant risk factor for developing inguinal hernia after radical prostatectomy (7 citations), and establishing predictors for urinary continence recovery following laparoscopic and robot-assisted procedures (6 citations). He has also pioneered the use of artificial intelligence for surgical phase recognition in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, demonstrating cross-surgeon validation (3 citations), and investigated how prostatic shape on preoperative MRI impacts surgical difficulty (3 citations). Notably, he reported the first Japanese case of BRCA2 and RB1 co-loss organ-confined prostate cancer successfully treated by radical prostatectomy (2 citations). With a growing body of work that bridges clinical risk assessment and cutting-edge technology, Dr. Matsumoto is advancing the precision and safety of prostate cancer surgery.
