About
Dr. Sohei Kanda is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing surgical outcomes in prostate and kidney cancers, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted laparoscopic techniques. His major contributions include a landmark 2018 study (38 citations) comparing positive surgical margin rates across open, laparoscopic, and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, providing critical evidence for the oncologic safety of minimally invasive approaches. Dr. Kanda has also pioneered investigations into acute kidney injury following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, demonstrating its impact on long-term renal prognosis—a vital consideration for patient counseling. His innovative hybrid technique for robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy in horseshoe kidneys showcases his surgical creativity in complex anatomic cases. Further, his comparative analysis of parenchymal volume loss after conventional versus robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (using 3D CT volumetry) has helped clarify the functional benefits of robotic surgery. With a growing body of work that directly informs clinical decision-making in urologic oncology, Dr. Kanda is establishing himself as a thoughtful contributor to the evidence base for robotic urologic surgery.
