About

Kazuna Tsubouchi is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on preserving genitourinary function after radical prostatectomy, particularly in the era of robotic surgery. His major contributions include developing a comprehensive, nerve-sparing approach during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy that simultaneously protects erectile function and lower urinary tract function—a critical advance for postoperative quality of life. Tsubouchi’s research on surgical positioning, notably the “opened legs” technique, has demonstrated efficacy in preventing postoperative rhabdomyolysis, improving patient safety. More recently, he has pioneered ICG fluorescence-assisted nerve-sparing techniques, offering real-time visualization to enhance surgical precision and functional outcomes. His most cited work (22 citations) has become a reference for surgeons seeking to optimize nerve preservation. Tsubouchi also investigates genetic factors, such as β3-adrenoceptor polymorphisms, to understand individual variations in lower urinary tract function. His cumulative work—spanning surgical innovation, patient safety, and personalized medicine—positions him as a key figure in advancing functional outcomes after prostate cancer surgery, with growing impact reflected in his citation record.
