About
Ryoei Minato is a urological surgeon whose research centers on refining surgical outcomes in prostate cancer care, particularly through the lens of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and the learning curve for robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). His most cited work, a 2022 study, systematically examined PROs in the first year after RARP and mapped the institutional learning curve for functional recovery—a critical area where surgical experience directly impacts patients’ quality of life. By analyzing 320 consecutive patients, Minato demonstrated how centers can optimize continence and potency outcomes as they gain procedural volume. This contribution is especially valuable for hospitals adopting robotic surgery, offering a roadmap to shorten the learning curve and improve patient-centered results. With 2 citations, his work is gaining traction among urologists focused on evidence-based surgical practice and functional preservation. Minato’s research bridges the gap between technical proficiency and patient experience, making him a key voice in the ongoing effort to refine prostate cancer treatment through rigorous, real-world data.
