About
Kosuke Tominaga is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on optimizing outcomes in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). His key research areas include surgical positioning to prevent complications, nerve-sparing techniques to preserve urinary function, and the use of intraoperative imaging to enhance surgical precision. In a 2022 propensity score-matched analysis, he demonstrated that the opened legs position significantly reduces the risk of postoperative rhabdomyolysis, a serious complication of prolonged surgery, with the paper accumulating 5 citations. More recently, in 2024, he pioneered an ICG fluorescence-assisted nerve-sparing approach that improved lower urinary tract symptoms, earning 3 citations. His work directly addresses the balance between oncologic control and quality of life, offering practical, evidence-based refinements to robotic prostatectomy. By integrating novel imaging and positioning strategies, Tominaga is contributing to safer, more functional outcomes for prostate cancer patients. His research is particularly valuable for surgeons seeking to minimize morbidity while maintaining surgical efficacy.
