About

Rikuto Yasujima is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on improving surgical outcomes and perioperative care for patients with urologic cancers, particularly bladder and kidney malignancies. His research bridges geriatric assessment and robotic surgery, demonstrating a commitment to patient-centered innovation. In a notable 2023 study (5 citations), Yasujima showed that rapid geriatric screening tools, such as the G8 and IADL-modified G8, can effectively predict a patient’s inability to manage a stoma independently after urinary diversion—a critical insight for preoperative counseling and postoperative support. He has also advanced the field of robotic surgery, co-authoring a 2022 case report (4 citations) on simultaneous robot-assisted nephroureterectomy and radical cystectomy for concurrent upper tract and bladder cancers, showcasing technical feasibility in complex cases. Additionally, his 2023 work (3 citations) explored how perinephric fat volume and the Mayo Adhesive Probability score impact clamping time during robot-assisted partial nephrectomy, helping surgeons anticipate surgical difficulty. With a growing body of work, Yasujima is establishing himself as a thoughtful contributor to urologic oncology, blending geriatric assessment with cutting-edge robotic techniques to enhance both surgical precision and quality of life.
