About
Dr. Miho Ushijima is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on improving functional outcomes following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), particularly in the critical early postoperative period. Her research examines the interplay between surgical technique and patient quality of life, with a specific emphasis on urinary incontinence. In her most cited work, a 2022 study, Dr. Ushijima investigated the correlation between extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND) and early-phase urinary incontinence after RARP. By analyzing patients who underwent the procedure without cavernous nerve sparing, she provided valuable insights into how the extent of lymph node dissection may affect continence recovery. This contribution, which has garnered 9 citations, addresses a clinically relevant gap in understanding the trade-offs of aggressive lymph node staging. Dr. Ushijima’s work is notable for its focus on patient-centered outcomes, helping surgeons refine their approaches to minimize morbidity while maintaining oncologic efficacy. Her research is a key resource for urologists seeking to optimize recovery and quality of life for prostate cancer patients.
