About
Shigeru Satoh is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on improving surgical outcomes in prostate cancer care, particularly through the lens of robotic-assisted techniques. His most influential study, with 38 citations, provides a critical single-institutional analysis comparing positive surgical margin rates and locations across open, laparoscopic, and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy—a key metric for cancer control and recurrence risk. This work helps clarify the oncologic advantages of minimally invasive approaches. Dr. Satoh has also made significant contributions to understanding renal complications after robotic prostatectomy. His 2020 study on acute kidney injury (AKI) following robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, cited 11 times, was among the first to quantify the incidence of AKI in this setting and demonstrate its lasting impact on long-term renal prognosis. By identifying postoperative AKI as a modifiable risk factor, his research informs perioperative management strategies to protect kidney function. Through these focused, clinically relevant investigations, Dr. Satoh advances both the safety and efficacy of modern prostate cancer surgery.
