About
Dr. Shohei Fukuda is a pioneering urological surgeon whose research focuses on advancing robotic-assisted surgery for bladder and prostate cancers, with a particular emphasis on improving outcomes for elderly and high-risk patients. His major contributions include landmark nationwide database studies demonstrating the safety and efficacy of robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) in octogenarians—a rapidly growing patient population—and establishing the peritoneal closure with processus vaginalis transection as a novel, effective technique to prevent post-prostatectomy inguinal hernia. His work has garnered significant attention, with his most-cited papers accumulating over 37 citations, reflecting their immediate clinical impact. Notably, Dr. Fukuda is at the forefront of surgical innovation, having pioneered the first AI-guided, fluorescence-like navigation system for real-time ureter segmentation during RARC using convolutional neural networks—a breakthrough that promises to reduce ureteral injury and enhance surgical precision. His research not only sets new standards for minimally invasive urological oncology but also demonstrates how data-driven approaches and artificial intelligence can transform patient safety and operative outcomes.
