About
Satoru Muto is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery, particularly in the management of prostate and bladder cancers. His most influential contribution examines how urethral length, measured via MRI, significantly predicts urinary continence recovery following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), a finding that has garnered 37 citations and carries meaningful clinical implications for preoperative patient counseling. Building on this foundation, Muto has investigated health-related quality of life outcomes after RARP using validated instruments such as the EPIC questionnaire, providing nuanced insight into nerve-sparing techniques and patient-reported functional recovery. A substantial portion of Muto's research addresses robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) for muscle-invasive bladder cancer, spanning perioperative outcomes, urinary diversion strategies, and long-term comparative analyses of orthotopic neobladder versus ileal conduit reconstruction. His multicenter collaborations through the Asian RARC Consortium have extended these findings across diverse patient populations, strengthening the evidence base for robotic cystectomy in Asia. He has also contributed technical innovations, including a modified VIP neobladder configuration using a hybrid surgical approach. Collectively, Muto's body of work reflects a consistent commitment to refining robotic urological surgery, improving functional outcomes, and advancing evidence-driven practice within uro-oncology.
