About
Dr. Seiji Hoshi is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) to improve outcomes for patients with prostate cancer and benign prostatic enlargement (BPE). His most significant contributions lie in two key areas: refining surgical techniques to enhance postoperative recovery and uncovering the vascular origins of prostate disease. Notably, Dr. Hoshi pioneered a novel three-layer, two-step posterior reconstruction technique using peritoneum during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), which has been cited 19 times for its promise in accelerating urinary continence recovery. His research further demonstrates a strong link between local atherosclerosis of the prostatic artery and chronic inflammation driving BPE (17 and 14 citations), proposing a groundbreaking ischemic mechanism for prostatic enlargement. With over 140 total citations, his work also includes predictive models for postoperative urinary incontinence and detrusor underactivity, directly improving patient counseling and quality of life. Dr. Hoshi’s blend of surgical innovation and pathophysiological insight positions him as a key figure in modern, minimally invasive urology.
