About
Susumu Kageyama is a urologic surgeon whose research centers on improving functional outcomes after minimally invasive prostate and kidney cancer surgery. His most influential work, published in 2018, established that the position of the bladder neck on postoperative cystography is a reliable predictor of urinary continence recovery after radical prostatectomy—a finding that directly informs surgical technique and patient counseling. This study, with 16 citations, remains a key reference for surgeons performing laparoscopic and robot-assisted prostatectomies. Kageyama has also advanced nephron-sparing surgery through his 2020 investigation of off-clamp tumor excision using soft coagulation during laparoscopic and robotic partial nephrectomy. By demonstrating the safety and efficacy of this technique in 78 patients, he contributed to reducing warm ischemia time and preserving renal function. His work bridges the gap between surgical precision and quality of life, offering evidence-based strategies to minimize post-operative complications. Kageyama’s research continues to shape best practices in urologic oncology, making him a respected voice in the field of minimally invasive surgery.
