About

Dr. Ryoma Nishikawa is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on optimizing robotic-assisted surgery for prostate and bladder cancers. His major contributions lie in refining surgical techniques to improve patient outcomes, particularly focusing on postoperative urinary continence and quality of life. Notably, his research on intravesical prostatic protrusion (IPP) demonstrated that prostate morphology significantly impacts early continence recovery after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), a finding with over 17 citations. He has also advanced the field by comparing perioperative outcomes across multiple robotic platforms—da Vinci, hinotori, and Hugo RAS systems—a study already garnering 10 citations. His innovative "HYBRID" method for urinary diversion in robotic cystectomy balances the benefits of extracorporeal and intracorporeal approaches. With a cumulative impact of over 70 citations, Dr. Nishikawa’s longitudinal studies on health-related quality of life seven years post-RARP and his work on nerve-sparing effects on bowel function provide critical insights for long-term patient care. His achievements include developing advanced vesicourethral support reconstruction to improve continence in non-nerve-sparing cases, marking him as a leader in enhancing surgical precision and patient-centered outcomes in robotic urology.
