About
Dr. Mayu Yagi is a leading urologic surgeon whose research centers on improving functional outcomes after robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP). Her work specifically targets the critical challenge of post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence, a major determinant of patient quality of life. In her highly cited 2024 study, Dr. Yagi systematically investigated the factors influencing urinary continence recovery, with a particular focus on the role of anterior reconstruction techniques. By analyzing surgical variables and patient outcomes, she demonstrated that meticulous anterior reconstruction significantly accelerates the return to continence, providing surgeons with evidence-based refinements to their operative approach. This contribution has immediate clinical relevance, offering men undergoing RALP a better chance at preserving urinary function. Dr. Yagi’s research bridges the gap between surgical technique and patient-reported outcomes, establishing her as a key voice in the ongoing effort to minimize the side effects of prostate cancer treatment. Her work continues to shape best practices in robotic urologic oncology.
