About
Nobufumi Ueda is a urologist and clinical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of robotic surgery, prostate cancer management, and surgical safety. His research has made meaningful contributions to the growing field of robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP/RARP), with a particular focus on understanding and mitigating the physiological consequences of the steep Trendelenburg positioning required during these procedures. Notably, Ueda's investigations into intraocular pressure elevation and retinal nerve fiber layer progression during RALP — garnering 12 and 7 citations respectively — have raised important awareness about ocular risks for glaucoma patients undergoing robotic prostate surgery, a concern largely overlooked in prior literature. Beyond surgical safety, his work explores oncological precision, including predictive factors for pathological downgrading in high-grade prostate cancer and the optimal application of nerve-sparing techniques guided by PI-RADS imaging. He has also examined how the COVID-19 pandemic reshaped urological treatment behaviors. Together, Ueda's body of work reflects a rigorous commitment to improving both the safety and efficacy of robotic prostatectomy, offering clinically actionable insights for surgeons, oncologists, and ophthalmologists alike.
