About

Dr. Kyohsuke Iwane is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research centers on advancing robotic surgical techniques and improving patient outcomes in prostate cancer care. His work has been instrumental in evaluating the safety and effectiveness of the hinotori™ Surgical Robot System for urological tumor surgeries, including robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and partial nephrectomy. In his landmark 2024 study on the hinotori system, Dr. Iwane demonstrated its real-world clinical viability, contributing to the growing adoption of this next-generation robotic platform. His research also delves into the critical issue of postoperative urinary incontinence (PUI) following RARP, where he identified key clinical characteristics and predictors of long-term incontinence through propensity-matched analysis. This work has provided surgeons with actionable insights to better counsel patients and refine surgical techniques. With his most-cited papers already accumulating significant attention in the field, Dr. Iwane’s contributions are shaping the future of minimally invasive urologic surgery, offering hope for improved functional recovery and quality of life for patients worldwide.
