About
Ryotaro Tomida is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research centers on advancing robotic-assisted surgery for prostate, bladder, and kidney cancers, with a particular focus on optimizing outcomes for older and vulnerable patient populations. His most impactful work evaluates the novel Hinotori robotic surgical system, demonstrating that its docking-free design significantly reduces postoperative pain following radical prostatectomy—a study that has already garnered 22 citations since 2024. Tomida has also made landmark contributions to robotic cystectomy, using propensity score matching to show that cutaneous ureterostomy offers a safer alternative to ileal conduit for elderly patients, and that robot-assisted lymph node dissection is both safe and effective compared to open surgery. His innovative spirit is evident in the development of the "Assistent guide," a dedicated device that simplifies ureteral stent placement during intracorporeal urinary diversion. With over 60 total citations across his published works, Tomida’s research consistently addresses real-world surgical challenges, from reducing needlestick injuries to comparing Bricker versus Wallace anastomosis techniques. His work is shaping the future of minimally invasive urologic oncology, making complex procedures safer and more accessible.
