About
Ryo Tanji is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving outcomes for prostate cancer patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). His major contributions lie in understanding and predicting post-surgical complications, particularly urinary incontinence and detrusor underactivity. Tanji has developed predictive models using preoperative pad tests and novel classifications based on membranous urethral length changes to identify patients at risk for prolonged incontinence. His research also explores the role of pelvic floor muscles—specifically the puboperinealis and rectourethralis—as a urethral support system for continence, and investigates the link between prostatic arteriosclerosis and chronic inflammation in benign prostatic enlargement. With over 70 citations across his most-cited works, including studies on rhabdomyolysis-induced renal dysfunction and patient satisfaction after RARP, Tanji’s work directly informs clinical decision-making and quality-of-life improvements. His prospective studies and patient-reported outcome assessments provide actionable insights for surgeons and patients alike, making him a key voice in the era of robotic prostate surgery.
