About
Ruriko Honda is a urological researcher whose work focuses on the pathophysiology of benign prostatic enlargement (BPE) and functional outcomes after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Her research has significantly advanced the understanding of how local arteriosclerosis in the prostatic arteries drives chronic inflammation, contributing to prostate growth—a key insight published in her most-cited paper (14 citations). She has also made notable contributions to postoperative care, including the development of a novel classification system using hierarchical cluster analysis of membranous urethral length changes to predict urinary incontinence and overactive bladder symptoms after RARP. Her prospective studies on preoperative pad testing as a predictor of incontinence and quality of life (12 citations), as well as her investigation of transient renal dysfunction due to rhabdomyolysis after RARP (7 citations), have provided clinicians with practical tools for patient counseling and management. More recently, Honda has explored the genetic underpinnings of lower urinary tract function, examining β3-adrenoceptor gene polymorphisms. Her work bridges basic pathophysiology and clinical outcomes, offering valuable insights for improving surgical recovery and understanding male urological health.
