About
Dr. Keiji Tomita is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving functional outcomes in minimally invasive prostate and kidney cancer surgery. His most impactful study, cited 16 times, established a practical radiographic predictor: the location of the bladder neck on postoperative cystography can reliably forecast the speed and likelihood of continence recovery after radical prostatectomy. This finding offers surgeons a tangible tool for counseling patients and managing expectations following laparoscopic or robot-assisted prostatectomy. Dr. Tomita has also advanced nephron-sparing techniques, demonstrating in a study of 78 patients that off-clamp tumor excision using soft coagulation during laparoscopic and robotic partial nephrectomy is a safe, effective strategy for reducing ischemic renal injury. By focusing on the intersection of surgical precision and postoperative quality of life—specifically urinary continence and renal function preservation—his contributions help refine operative protocols and enhance recovery for patients undergoing complex urologic oncology procedures.
