About
Mariko Moriguchi is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive kidney surgery, particularly robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN), and its impact on long-term renal function. Her most cited study, published in 2021, provides critical insights into the preservation of split renal function after RAPN by employing 99m-Tc DTPA renal scintigraphy—a rigorous, objective method rarely used in long-term follow-up. This work not only clarifies the durability of renal function post-surgery but also identifies key clinical factors that predict deterioration on the affected side, offering surgeons actionable guidance for patient selection and operative planning. With 3 citations, this paper has already informed subsequent research in nephron-sparing surgery. Moriguchi’s contributions are particularly valuable for clinicians seeking to balance oncologic control with maximal renal preservation, a central challenge in urologic oncology. Her meticulous approach to functional outcomes underscores her commitment to evidence-based surgical innovation, making her a respected voice in the field of robotic urology and renal preservation.
