About
Kohei Hirose is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing robotic surgery for complex oncologic cases, particularly in patients with multiple prior malignancies. His key research areas include robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, nephroureterectomy, and partial nephrectomy, with a special emphasis on patients who have previously undergone colorectal cancer surgery. Hirose has made significant contributions by demonstrating the feasibility and safety of performing robotic procedures in these challenging scenarios, such as simultaneous robot-assisted nephroureterectomy and radical cystectomy for synchronous urothelial cancers. His work on geriatric screening tools, including the G8 and IADL-modified G8, has shown that rapid assessments can predict a patient's inability to manage a stoma after urinary diversion, directly impacting preoperative counseling and patient selection. Additionally, Hirose has developed novel predictive models like the region of interest modified Mayo Adhesive Probability score to improve surgical planning for partial nephrectomy. With over 15 citations across his most-cited papers, his research is gaining traction in the urologic community for its practical, patient-centered approach to robotic surgery in high-risk populations.
