About
Dr. Satoshi Fukasawa is a leading Japanese urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on optimizing surgical outcomes for prostate cancer, particularly through robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). His major contributions lie in defining best practices for pelvic lymphadenectomy and understanding the critical relationship between surgical volume and patient safety. In a landmark multi-institutional study using a national database, Dr. Fukasawa demonstrated that both surgeon and hospital volume significantly impact the safety of RARP, a finding with direct implications for surgical training and healthcare policy (18 citations). He has also rigorously compared the diagnostic efficacy of limited versus extended pelvic lymph node dissection, providing evidence to guide surgical decision-making (28 citations). His research further explores the delicate balance between nerve-sparing techniques and positive surgical margins during early surgical experience (14 citations), and he has developed a novel nomogram to identify candidates for extended lymph node dissection in the robotic era. By combining large-scale database analyses with practical clinical tools, Dr. Fukasawa has advanced the precision and safety of robotic prostate cancer surgery in Japan.
