About
Dr. Keito Shiozaki is a leading urologic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing robot-assisted surgery for complex oncologic conditions, particularly bladder and kidney cancers. His work has fundamentally shaped how surgeons approach radical cystectomy and partial nephrectomy in diverse patient populations. Dr. Shiozaki’s major contributions include pioneering the “Mercedes-Benz” closure technique for vaginal reconstruction during female robot-assisted radical cystectomy, and developing the “Assistent guide,” a novel device that simplifies ureteral stent placement in intracorporeal ileal conduits. He has also provided critical evidence comparing surgical outcomes between older and younger adults, demonstrating the safety and efficacy of robotic approaches in elderly patients through rigorous propensity score-matched analyses. With his most-cited paper accumulating 14 citations, his research on intracorporeal urinary diversion in older patients has been particularly influential. Dr. Shiozaki’s work on the patient-side surgeon’s role and his educational stepwise curriculum for robot-assisted radical prostatectomy have also advanced surgical training. His collaborative, multi-institutional studies on achieving the radical cystectomy-pentafecta after neoadjuvant chemotherapy represent a significant step toward standardizing quality metrics in bladder cancer surgery.
