About
Nobuhiro Haga is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), urinary continence restoration, and minimally invasive reconstructive urology. He has made significant contributions to understanding and improving functional outcomes following robotic prostate cancer surgery, with a particular focus on the pathophysiology of postoperative urinary incontinence and the surgical innovations designed to address it. Haga's most cited work (119 citations) provides a comprehensive examination of incontinence mechanisms following RARP and reviews intraoperative techniques to optimize continence recovery — a persistent challenge even in robotic surgery. Building on this foundation, he has investigated bladder neck sling suspension, posterior reconstruction methods, and pelvic anatomical factors that influence early continence return, collectively accumulating hundreds of citations across his body of work. His research extends to quality-of-life outcomes, demonstrating that practical factors such as pad exchange timing meaningfully affect patient wellbeing in the early postoperative period. Beyond continence, Haga has explored nerve-sparing strategies to preserve erectile function and examined the role of prostatic arterial atherosclerosis in benign prostatic enlargement. His sustained productivity across a decade reflects a career committed to refining robotic urological surgery and improving the lived experience of prostate cancer patients navigating complex surgical recovery.
