About
Shoko Uketa is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for complex urologic cancers. Her primary research areas include robot-assisted radical cystectomy, partial nephrectomy, and the management of rare anatomical variants and complications in urologic oncology. Uketa has made significant contributions by documenting and analyzing uncommon surgical scenarios, such as port-site incisional hernias from small robotic trocars and the application of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy in patients with horseshoe kidney—a renal fusion anomaly that presents unique surgical challenges. Her case reports, including a study on port-site hernia following robot-assisted cystectomy (12 citations) and a report on robotic partial nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma in a horseshoe kidney (7 citations), provide valuable guidance for surgeons navigating these difficult cases. More recently, Uketa has explored immunotherapy responses, reporting on avelumab’s efficacy against bone and lymph node metastases in plasmacytoid variant bladder cancer (5 citations). Her work exemplifies the intersection of surgical innovation and oncologic precision, offering practical insights that enhance patient safety and expand the boundaries of robotic urologic surgery.
