About
Dr. Manabu Ichino is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing robot-assisted surgery for urologic cancers, particularly prostate, bladder, and kidney malignancies. His major contributions lie in defining and predicting optimal surgical outcomes—such as the “pentafecta” and “trifecta” composite endpoints—to balance cancer control, functional recovery, and complication avoidance. Dr. Ichino has published highly cited studies on risk factors for postoperative ileus after robot-assisted radical cystectomy (25 citations) and on the comparative benefits of nerve-sparing versus non-nerve-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (24 citations). He has also pioneered the use of artificial intelligence in urologic surgery, developing deep learning models that analyze preoperative MRI and intraoperative video to predict urinary continence recovery after prostatectomy, with studies accumulating over 20 citations. His work on robot-assisted partial nephrectomy for complex and cystic renal tumors has been cited more than 30 times collectively. Dr. Ichino’s research directly informs clinical decision-making, helping surgeons tailor approaches to maximize oncologic and functional outcomes while minimizing complications.
