About
Shogo Teraoka is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving functional outcomes and quality of life after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for prostate cancer. His major contributions lie in identifying preoperative anatomical predictors—such as intravesical prostatic protrusion—that influence early postoperative continence, and in demonstrating that nerve-sparing techniques can preserve not only erectile function but also bowel function. Teraoka has also shown that extended pelvic lymph node dissection improves early oncological control in high-risk patients, and that penile rehabilitation with PDE5 inhibitors aids erectile recovery. His longitudinal studies tracking patients over five years provide rare, long-term data on urinary continence and quality of life in Japanese men. With over 80 citations across his top ten papers, Teraoka’s work has shaped surgical decision-making and postoperative care protocols. He has also contributed to comparative studies of robotic versus laparoscopic pyeloplasty, broadening his impact beyond oncology. His research is distinguished by rigorous methodology, including propensity-score matching and longitudinal analysis, making him a key voice in evidence-based robotic urologic surgery.
