About
Dr. Mayuko Tokunaga is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work centers on refining surgical techniques to improve patient outcomes in prostate cancer care. Her primary research focuses on the prevention of postoperative complications following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), with a particular emphasis on reducing the incidence of inguinal hernia—a common and debilitating side effect. Dr. Tokunaga’s major contribution is the development of a novel clipping procedure designed to prevent post-operative inguinal hernia, a technique validated in a large cohort study of 759 patients. This work, published in 2024, has already garnered attention with 2 citations, signaling its early impact in the field. By addressing a frequent complication that affects quality of life, her innovation offers a practical, reproducible solution that may become a standard step in RARP. Dr. Tokunaga’s dedication to surgical refinement and patient-centered outcomes marks her as a rising leader in urologic oncology, with her research poised to influence clinical practice and reduce morbidity for thousands of men undergoing prostate cancer surgery.
