Masayoshi Nagata

About

Masayoshi Nagata is a leading figure in robotic urologic oncology, with a focused expertise in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and cystectomy. His work has significantly advanced the understanding of postoperative complications and recovery, particularly in prostate cancer surgery. Nagata's seminal paper on port site hernia at the robotic arm port (11 citations) provides critical safety insights for minimally invasive procedures. He has also made substantial contributions to quality-of-life research, using the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC) to assess longitudinal health outcomes after RARP in Japanese men (11 citations). His preliminary work on robot-assisted radical cystectomy (10 citations) helped establish the feasibility of this approach for invasive bladder cancer. More recently, Nagata has pioneered innovative techniques, including a modified Vesica Ileale Padovana neobladder configuration using a hybrid approach, and the Minimum Layer Resection method for robot-assisted partial nephrectomy guided by 3D virtual imaging. His research on predicting urinary incontinence recovery time and using early PSA decline rates as a timely biomarker for biochemical recurrence demonstrates his commitment to improving patient outcomes through data-driven, personalized care.
