About
Motohiko Sugi is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving surgical outcomes in prostate and kidney cancer, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted laparoscopic techniques and postoperative recovery. His most influential contribution is the introduction of an Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS) protocol for robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP), a study that has garnered 46 citations and demonstrated significant improvements in intestinal function and perioperative parameters for prostate cancer patients. Sugi has also made notable advances in predicting and reducing postoperative complications: his research identifying the narrow vesicourethral angle as a predictor of urinary incontinence after RALP (14 citations) has helped refine surgical planning, while his work on tumor volume and renal midline crossing as predictors of renal function after robotic partial nephrectomy (4 citations) offers valuable guidance for nephron-sparing surgery. Additionally, he has explored urinary biomarkers like L-type fatty acid-binding protein to detect early renal function loss after partial nephrectomy. Sugi’s research bridges surgical innovation with patient-centered outcomes, providing evidence-based tools that enhance recovery and quality of life for urologic cancer patients.
