About
Satoshi Washino is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on refining robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for prostate cancer. His major contributions lie in optimizing surgical techniques to balance oncologic control with functional outcomes. He has pioneered novel anterior and Retzius-sparing approaches, demonstrating that a peritoneal incision between the umbilical ligaments can reduce postoperative inguinal hernias and accelerate continence recovery. Critically, his 2022 study (15 citations) revealed that while Retzius-sparing RARP preserves continence, it carries a higher positive surgical margin rate for anterior tumors—a key insight for surgical planning. Washino has also advanced the debate on pelvic lymph node dissection, showing in a 2024 multi-institutional study (8 citations) the oncologic benefits of extended dissection for high-risk patients. His work evaluating RARP safety in patients on anticoagulants (6 citations) has informed perioperative management protocols. With a growing portfolio of high-impact studies, Washino is shaping evidence-based, patient-specific approaches to robotic prostate surgery, directly improving outcomes for men with prostate cancer.
