About
Masashi Oshima is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on refining robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) to improve oncologic control and patient quality of life. His major contributions lie in comparing surgical techniques—specifically, conventional anterior RARP versus Retzius-sparing RARP—and evaluating how tumor location influences outcomes. In a pivotal 2022 study (cited 15 times), Oshima demonstrated that while Retzius-sparing approaches may preserve continence, they carry a higher risk of positive surgical margins in anterior tumors, a critical insight for surgical planning. He has also advanced perioperative safety, showing in a 2020 cohort (6 citations) that RARP can be performed safely in patients on antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapy without significantly elevated bleeding risks. Oshima’s work directly informs evidence-based surgical decision-making, balancing cancer eradication with functional preservation. His research is essential reading for urologists and trainees seeking to optimize robotic prostatectomy outcomes.
