About
Makito Miyake is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on minimally invasive and robot-assisted surgical techniques for urological cancers, with particular expertise in prostate, renal, and bladder malignancies. His research has made meaningful contributions to understanding the comparative outcomes of surgical approaches, including landmark work demonstrating how periprostatic fat thickness on preoperative MRI independently predicts pathological upstaging in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy — an insight with direct implications for surgical planning and patient counseling. Miyake has rigorously evaluated quality-of-life outcomes following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy versus brachytherapy for prostate cancer, helping clinicians and patients navigate treatment decisions with greater nuance. His comparative analyses of open, laparoscopic, and robotic approaches to both radical prostatectomy and partial nephrectomy — including complex renal tumors — have attracted over 15 and 11 citations respectively, reflecting their clinical relevance. More recently, his investigations into intracorporeal urinary diversion and intraoperative tumor capsule injury demonstrate a broadening focus on optimizing oncological and functional outcomes across urological surgery. Collectively, Miyake's body of work advances evidence-based practice in a rapidly evolving surgical landscape.
