About

Shigeki Koterazawa is a distinguished urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing surgical outcomes in prostate cancer treatment, particularly through the lens of robotic-assisted techniques and patient aging. His most-cited study, "Effects of aging on complications following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy" (2024, 7 citations), provides critical insights into how age-related factors influence postoperative risks, helping to refine patient selection and perioperative care. This work underscores his broader contributions to understanding surgical safety and efficacy in an aging population, a pressing issue as prostate cancer diagnoses rise among older men. Koterazawa’s research bridges clinical practice and evidence-based medicine, offering data-driven guidance for optimizing robot-assisted procedures. His findings have been cited in discussions on surgical complications and geriatric oncology, highlighting their relevance to improving quality of life after treatment. By systematically analyzing age as a variable, he has helped shift the paradigm toward more personalized surgical planning. Koterazawa’s dedication to rigorous outcomes research continues to shape urologic oncology, making him a valuable voice for clinicians and researchers seeking to balance aggressive treatment with patient-centered care.
