About

Kensuke Bekku is a leading urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on robotic-assisted surgery for prostate and kidney cancers, with a particular focus on optimizing perioperative outcomes and advancing minimally invasive techniques. His major contributions include a landmark study of over 1,000 patients demonstrating that the type and duration of prophylactic antibiotics significantly impact postoperative infection rates after robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (6 citations). He has also provided critical comparative evidence showing that robot-assisted partial nephrectomy offers superior oncological control over percutaneous cryoablation for cT1 renal cell carcinoma (5 citations). Bekku’s prospective multi-institutional ROBOHIT trial (3 citations) established long-term safety and efficacy of robotic partial nephrectomy for challenging renal hilar tumors, while his comprehensive review on robot-assisted kidney autotransplantation (5 citations) positions him as a thought leader in this emerging field. Additionally, his 15-year multi-institutional analysis of needlestick injuries in urological surgery (2 citations) highlights his commitment to surgical safety. With publications spanning 2024–2025, Bekku is rapidly shaping evidence-based practice in robotic urology.
